Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Have you ever seen a traffic policeman with bright white sleeves, directing traffic at the busy road junction? That is my job.
You would not guess how hard my job is unless you tried to do it yourself. I have to keep my eyes wide open every minute of the day, or else I will get myself and others into trouble. My negligence might even cause serious disaster.
As soon as I take up duty on the traffic stand, I begin to wave my hands to direct the traffic. A traffic policeman should keep the movements of his arms down to a minimum and rely mainly on his hands in order to preserve his energy. I sometimes feel that y arms no longer belong to my body. Although it appears easy enough to stop on – coming cars from one direction and wave forward those from another direction, a traffic policeman must be most careful not to give any wrong signs lest an accident should occur.
Nobody longs for fine weather as much as I do when I am on duty. Day or night, I pray that it will not rain. It is difficult to find anyone who is more exposed to the elements than I am in my traffic stand. The rain can drench me and the wind can chill me to the bone. On the other hand, during summer the hot sun can burn me!
The most trying hours are the peak periods when people go to and come back from their work. At such times, both pedestrians and vehicles always seem to try to beat each other to the crossing. The motorists usually keep a sharp look – out for my signals, but many pedestrians walk across the road as if they are in a dream. They ignore my signals, risking their lives. Many pedestrians and motorists must have blamed me for stopping and holding them up. However, they should understand that the small inconvenience is for their own good.
I like my job, for I believe that it does contribute, in a big way, to the maintenance of law and order.
