Their conclusion, of course, gives the game away, for the tolerance they are talking about does not in fact exist but is invented as a justification for present intolerance. It is a thoroughly hypocritical posture which makes one wonder whether British claims to being especially tolerant have any validity at all.
What is called tolerance by the British may often be just unassertiveness or timidity, for it is true that most English people do not relish public rows or confrontations and will go to some lengths to avoid them. But this does not mean they are particularly indulgent to other people's behaviour. Do anything out of the ordinary--give a party, for example--and your neighbours will soon begin to bare their teeth.
The British tend to be very critical of Continental drivers, whom they accuse of uncontrolled aggressiveness. But while British drivers may be rather more reliable about sticking to the rules of the road, they are dangerously intolerant of other drivers who, in their view, are doing things they shouldn't be doing. I myself may sometimes be incompetent or a bit too pushy as a driver but I have often been a victim of verbal abuse and terrifying revenge manoeuvres quite out of proportion to any offence that I may have committed. In fact, I am much more frightened of British drivers than I am of French or Italian ones, for you can at least be reasonably confident with the latter that, unlike the British, they are not prepared to die--and take you with them--in order to prove a point.
British attitudes to bad habits like drinking also tend to be intolerant and are getting more so. I was shocked to hear on the radio this week that personnel officers, people whose task is to care for the workers, had revealed in a survey that many of them would like to see drinking at lunchtime forbidden and made grounds for dismissal. The whole idea of telling people when they should be allowed to drink, a principle enshrined in the licensing laws, is of its nature profoundly intolerant.
The writer cites the British people's attitude towards immigration as an example to show their ______.
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Laura Davis grew up in London, far removed from the small country village she later moved to. Although not from an agricultural background, she wasn't impressed by what she had seen of conventional methods. Joining Laurence on the 32 acre smallholding of Bindon Farm provided a perfect opportunity to develop an organic system of farming.
"It was perfect really," she says. "We never considered using chemicals, so we were organic from the start. The land here had never been intensively farmed, it was all permanent pasture, and in the early days it was more an exercise in self-sufficiency than a working farm. Later, when we decided to operate commercially, we both did part-time courses at the local agricultural college. It was a general course, not particularly geared to an organic system. There is tremendous confusion about what 'organic' means. We describe organic produce as 'the products of a sustainable system of farming that is environmentally harmless.' In other words, 'organic' describes the system of farming rather than the produce itself. All land has a certain amount of naturally occurring chemicals in it. It's also possible that your produce can be marginally contaminated by, for instance, the farmer next door. So it is wrong to suggest that the product is completely free of chemical residue(残余物，残渣)."
The Soil Association is the body which approves land suitable for organic growing. Their inspectors issue a Soil Association symbol which can be used in the marketing of organic produce. To gain the symbol, land has to be free of chemical use for at least two years— sometimes longer, depending on how it has been used previously. The organic farmer also has to demonstrate competence in organic farming. The Soil Association was in its infancy when Laura and Laurence began and they were among the first to be awarded the symbol.
Why did Laura and Laurence start a farm？
