It might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or stuck behind a very slow driver. It might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. Whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something which happens more and more often and there is now a special term for it: road rage. Some experts even think that road rage is a kind of mental illness! How can we recognize this illness of road rage?There are two kinds of road rage: aggressive driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. Aggressive driving can take different forms: Driving much faster than the speed limit. Increasing your speed very quickly. Driving very close behind the car in front and sounding the horn or flashing the headlights. Changing lanes very suddenly and blocking another car. Moving into a parking space where another ear is trying to park.There are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. These include: Making rude signs at people. Shouting at people and threatening them. Deliberately driving into another person39。s car. Hitting somebody. Using a weapon such as a baseball bat, or even a gun or a knife. Road rage is certainly not a joke. There have been incidents of road rage which have led to serious injuries and even murder. Experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases where this kind of driving seems to be positive. Experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough. Experience shows that driving problems can be controlled，but it takes a long time. In the UK in the last 30 years, he police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. They are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. Let39。s hope they can have the same success with road rage.（1）Which of the following describes aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving？ A.Making polite signs at people.B.Shouting at people and threatening them.C.Driving much faster than the speed limit.D.Moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.（2）Road rage happens possibly because______.

But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通話(huà)) class, he quickly changed his mind. I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin, said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinesespeaking friends. While it39。s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study puter engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China being a growing power, he said. Many experts agree that proficiency(熟練) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. People are looking at China as our next economic petitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast, said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council(議會(huì)) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. We39。re seeing it in all parts of the country. Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an important needs language and provides professional development programs for teachers. Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic petitiveness, Abbott added. At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.（1）Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin? A.Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.B.Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.C.Mandarin might help him learn more about China.D.Mandarin could enable him to study puter engineering.（2）The underlined word edge in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A.a slight advantage16
