第二部分：閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)

• 1．It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams，the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage，but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter．
     Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it．
     However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．
     An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately，modern drivers can't even learn to drive，let alone master the roadmanship．Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart．

  ．
  A．road politeness

  ．

• 3．

  My Left Foot （1989） Imagine being a prisoner of your own body，unable to make any movements except to move your left foot．The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy （大腦性麻痹） sufferer Christy Brown，can barely move his mouth to speak，but by controlling his left foot，he's able to express himself as an artist and poet．For his moving performance of Brown，Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor．
  Shine （1996） Do you have a talent you're afraid to share with the world？David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be "one of the truly great pianists，" but the pressures of performing （and pleasing his father） resulted in a complete breakdown．Ten years in a mental institution didn't weaken Helfgott's musical gift：When he was rediscovered，he was playing concertos（協(xié)奏曲） in a bar．Shine received seven Oscar nominations（提名），and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott．
  Life Is Beautiful （1997） Nothing's more powerful than the love between a parent and a child．In this heartbreaking Italian film，a father （Roberto Benigni） makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son：trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945，the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game．He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war，and even in his final moments of life，keeps his son smiling and hopeful．Benigni won the best actor Oscar．
  Stand and Deliver （1988） Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher．Jaime Escalante （Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor） is a great one．Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail，Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things，like getting good grades in the AP exam．Despite the obstacles in their lives，the classmates accomplish their goals，thanks to Mr．Escalante's support．The real Jaime Escalante is，the Best Teacher in America，says that Stand and Deliver is "90% truth，10% drama．"
