16.Teenagers will be told to"stand up for their elders"on public transport-or risk losing their right to free travel.
London Mayor Boris Johnson will declare plans today to make youngsters sign a"courtesy pledge"(文明宣言) to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital.The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly,pregnant and disabled; keep from using offensive or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff.
Those who refuse,or are caught behaving in a loutish manner,will have their free travel passes removed.The plan-a key part of Mr Johnson's re-election bid-will initially affect the 400,000 ll-to-15-year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards,but Tory sources believe the idea could be used across the country.
A Conservative insider said:"The plan corresponds perfectly with the push to create a Big Society.It is about changing culture and expectations around behaviour to improve the atmosphere on buses and trains for everyone."
Speaking before today's launch,Mr Johnson said he was determined to deal with the anti-social behaviour of a"minority of youngsters"on public transport."When I was a boy,I was taught to stand up for those less able to,"he said."Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel,which is paid for by Londoners,but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility.Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away,and will have to earn that right bach."
Teenagers found guilty of a serious violation of the new behaviour rules will lose their travel passes,and will have to carry out unpaid community work to earn them back.
Mr Johnson is also introducing a"two strikes and you're out"policy to deal with repeat offenders,under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their travel rights permanently.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.
