2 One of the greatest gulfs separating the driving nations is the Atlantic Ocean. More precisely, it is the mental distance between the European and the American motorist, particularly the South American motorist. Compare, for example, an English driver at a set of traffic lights with a Brazilian.
3 Very rarely will an Englishman try to anticipate the green light by moving off prematurely. You will find the occasional sharpie who watches for the amber to come up on the adjacent set of lights. However, he will not go until he receives the lawful signal. Brazilians view the thing quite differently. If, in fact, they see traffic lights at all, they regard them as a kind of roadside decoration.
4 The natives of North America are much more disciplined. They demonstrate this in their addiction to driving in one lane and sticking to it—even if it means settling behind some great truck for many miles.
5 To prevent other drivers from falling into reckless ways, American motorists try always to stay close behind the vehicle in front, which can make it impossible, when all the vehicles are moving at about 55 mph, to make a real lane change. European visitors are constantly falling into this trap. They return to the Old World still flapping their arms in frustration because while driving in the States in their car they kept failing to get off the highway when they wanted to and were swept along to the next city.
6 However, one nation above all others lives scrupulously by its traffic regulations--the Swiss. In Switzerland, if you were simply to anticipate a traffic light, the chances are that the motorist behind you would take your number and report you to the police. What is more, the police would visit you; and you would be convicted.
7 The Swiss take their rules Of the road so seriously that a driver can be ordered to appear in court and charged for speeding on hearsay alone, and very likely found guilty. There are slight regional variations among the French, German and Italian speaking areas,but it is generally safe to assume that any car bearing a CH sticker will be driven with a high degree of discipline.
The fact that the Brazilians regard traffic lights as a kind of roadside decoration suggests that
A.traffic lights are part of street scenery.
B.they simply ignore traffic lights.
C.they want to put them at roadsides.
D.there are very few traffic lights.

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income,they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society,but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma,at least. Without that,you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison,and you can successfully dropout in grade school.
Get a college degree,if possible. With a B. A. ,you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree,make sure it is an M. B. A. ,and is famous. Law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
Do you know,for instance,that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes,the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000. While the full professors managed to earn just $ 23,030.
A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes,if you pursue such a degree in any other field,you will face a dim future. There are more Ph. D. s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.
If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy. you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs,mind you,but for our demands.
Thousands of Ph. D. s are selling shoes,driving cars,waiting on table,and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough,that is,to make you useful to the gross national product. but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
According to the writer,what the society expects of education is to turn out people who______.
A. will not be a disgrace to society
B. will become loyal citizens
C. can take care of themselves
D. can meet the nation's demands as a source of manpower
