It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of" gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the toad are becoming horrible. Eye,body 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 too. 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 calmness 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 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 be not 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.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　{{B}}Road Trip Vacation{{/B}}
? ?It’s summer. In the United States, it’s the season of swimming pools, barbeques (户外烤肉), camping and road trips.
? ?Road trip vacations where the car Journey is part of the fun are especially with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money.
? ?"Ever since I went to college, I’ve been traveling around a lot, exploring the country." said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.
? ?The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore."
? ?Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio Who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don’t have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive."
? ?Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.
? ?Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels (洗车旅馆) started, apppearing outside cities.
? ?By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate (州) highway ?system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up (突然出现) everywhere making long ?distance trips easier.
? ?Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no ear, according to the most recent US census.
? ?Though many college students don’t own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins’ trips, they used a borrowed van.
? ?Hawkins’ most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane (风暴) Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.
? ?Roberts’ road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the—25°cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop (笔记本电脑) and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage.
? ?"I know we should have planned better, but we’re young. Now, when I see those guys I always say, ’Remember when we were lost in the snow storm! ’I’ll never forget that."
When did motels suddenly appear everywhere?

A:When driving trips became popular B:After the work to build the interstate highway system started C:After Internet became widely accessible D:After new cars were made
