问题     It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the【C1】______pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters 【C2】______the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is【C3】______matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the【C4】______to the rule. Perhaps the situation 【C5】______a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, 【C6】______it may get completely【C7】______.
    Road politeness is not only good manners, but good【C8】______too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to【C9】______the temptation to revenge when【C10】______to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards【C11】______the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in【C12】______to an act of politeness helps to 【C13】______an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too【C14】______ today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
    【C15】______, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes 【C16】______to allow a car to emerge【C17】______a side street at some hazard to following traffic, 【C18】______a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra【C19】______into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop【C20】______.
    Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
