It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries.For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate (慶祝) each year，while for others it is a catastrophe (災害) or even a wonder.

There are countries between these two extremes (極端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months，but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year.Britain is one such country，for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems.Within hours of the first snowfall，however light，roads are locked，trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic.Normal communications are affected as well，telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual.Almost within hours，there are also certain shortages (短缺)—bread，vegetables and other things—not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops，but mainly because people are frightened，and go out to store up these commodities (goods)，“Just for fear that something bad should happen”．

Why then does snow have this effect？After all the Swiss，Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems.It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation.We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice.To keep the roads clear，for example，requires snow­ploughs and machines to spread salt.The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snowploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year，and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals，education or helping the old.

There was a time when，if a lady got into a crowded bus or train，a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat.But now，things are different.Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy，hide behind his newspaper.Either way，the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.

You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners，though.Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble.A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men，not just equality in jobs or education，but in social life.Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.On second thoughts，that is perhaps not a bad idea.

It’s no wonder，then that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women.On the other hand，the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women，so that men can see women as equal human beings，rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.

Maybe it is worth women’s while to stand in the bus or train.

46．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Gentlemen are considered impolite nowadays if they do not offer their seats to a standing woman.

B．A gentleman who doesn’t give his seat to a standing woman should be blamed.

C．Today women do not enjoy the politeness shown actively to her by man but they considered it pleasant in the past.

D．In order to be equal with men，women have to stand in a bus or train.

47．A woman may get angry if a man holds a door open for her because________.

A．she doesn’t like him to wait on her hand and foot

B．women enjoy opening the door themselves

C．she feels herself treated as a weaker

D．she thinks it impolite for a man to do so

48．If a man takes a girl out for a meal，she insists on paying her share of the bill.That means________.

A．she wants to be equal with him

B．she likes him，so she doesn’t want to use his money

C．it’s impolite to have a free meal

D．she has agreed to marry him

49．What do women really need today?

A．Men’s active politeness and consideration.

B．Men’s true consideration for the needs and feelings of women.

C．Trying to win men’s favour.

D．Men’s good manners such as offering their seats and opening the door，etc.

50．The writer most probably is________.

A．a(chǎn) man who thinks the changes are reasonable

B．a(chǎn) woman who wants equality

C．a(chǎn) man who doesn’t agree with the changes today

D．a(chǎn) woman who doesn’t agree with the changes today
