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 ______.
A.virtuousness
B.tolerance
C.hypocrisy
D.racial discrimination

Passage Five
“Family”is of course an elastic word.But when British people say that their society is based on family life。they are thinking of“family”in its narrow,peculiarly European sense of mother,father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit.Thus,every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman,marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life.The man’s first duty will then be to his wife,and the wife’s to her husband.He will be entirely re sDonsible for her financial support,and she for the running of the new home.Their chil dren will be their common responsibility and theirs alone.Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s,nor their brothers or sisters,aunts or uncles,have any right to interfere with them--they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents,that is,it was the parents’s duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter,preferably a rich one,and bv skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her.Until that time,the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’home,and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry.It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they 1eave school and become financially independent before their marriage.This has had two results.A girl chooses her own husband,and she gets no dowry.
