20.Garden Route,South Africa
Take in fresh sea air in this beautiful coastal setting as you cruise the famous Garden Route in the Western Cape in South Africa.A wildlife break is a must,as is enjoying great meal stops along the route.There are wildlife reserves throughout the Graden Route National Park you can swing into and spend a sleepy morning in a car looking for giraffes and lions.And just over your shoulder in the big blue there are whales to be watched (if the season is right).
Top tip:Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip.It is much less known than the Western Cape and full of great landscapes.The gas station is occasionally seen.
Great Ocean Road,Australia
Sweep along this dramatic coastal road in Austrlia with views of the Southern Ocean from Geelong to Portland,in Victoria,and you won't regret it.Anyone who has driven it just can't stop talking about it,and with good reason.There're loads to see and plenty of great stops.There's whale-watching here too,and other natural life.And to top it all,there'll be plenty of good old Aussie kindness and welcome when you pull in for lunch or a coffee stop.
Top tip:Rent an open-top car so you can really drink in that sea air.
Stelvio Pass,Italy
If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes,you'll love this.Stelvio in Italy.The mountain slopes stretch away on either side of the road,with snow-topped peaks within sight.There's a great view down the pass.And from the top,it's just a short sweep away from the Swiss border,so if you are gripped by mountain road driving,you can drive from here down to Swiss ski resort of Davos.Stelvio has 48hairpins(急彎) on the north side and 12on the descent(陡坡) to Bormio,so this route is not recommended for new drivers,or those with a fear of heights.This descent is often featured in the Giro d'Italia,the Italian version of the Tour de France,so you may have glimpsed it on the television.
Top Tip:Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros,so you can make the trip a cross-border experience.

5.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.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 becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviorsof 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 whowaves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not beable to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever andwhenever 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 road man ship.Years ago,experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-takefrom all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
47.The passage mainly talks aboutA.
A.Road politeness
B.Traffic jams
C.Good manners
D.Modern drivers
48.Troubles on the road are often caused byD.
A.great speed
B.traffic jams
C.terrible road conditions
D.the behavior of the drivers
49.According to the writer,a good driver shouldB.
A.beat back when forced to face rude driving
B.be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
C.join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel
D.encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to
50.It is not always right for drivers toC.
A.master roadman ship
B.create atmosphere of good will
C.encourage old ladies to cross the road
D.give a friendly nod to show politeness.
