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 behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.

Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when

- 2 - 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.

I’ve often heard the idea that“there are no new stories”in

movies and literature. While the audience have expressed their

frustrations on this point, I think this complaint has been

primarily unfair to Hollywood’s creations. Despite their

- 4 - borrowed story points and characters, these movies can be truly inspiring

when done correctly.

I’ve worked at a movie theater for more than three years and have

seen how the audience appreciate several of these movies. “The Dark

Knight Rises”was inspired by a comedic book character; yet according to

several sources, it got more than $354 million domestically(在国内方面)as

of Aug. 5. I worked at the weekend, seeing many people attend and enjoy

this movie.

Several other recent movies, however, couldn’t boast“The Dark

Knight Rises”success, and perhaps this is why the audience are becoming

dissatisfied. Usually, sequels(续集)rarely live up to the thrill of the

original—it’s difficult to satisfy book-lovers with movie adaptations. While

3D was once an impressive new invention, its uniqueness has gone. The

audience no longer find 3D movies worth the higher ticket price or the

uncomfortable glasses.

I started to consider the issue of new stories while watching“The

Amazing Spider-Man”for the second time last weekend. This movie has

been closely compared to the original Spider-Man comics. What truly

impressed me about the film, however, is that though it brought in aspects

of the story, it truly felt like its own movie.

Why are audience so frustrated by repeated stories? In researching the

phrase“there are no new stories”, I found several variations but no clear
