What are the basic elements of good manners? Certainly a strong sense of justice is one; courtesy(谦恭) is often __1__ more than a highly developed sense of __2__ play. A friend of mine once told me about a time when he was driving along a narrow, unpaved mountain road. __3__ was another car that produced clouds of __4__， and it was a long way to the nearest __5__ highway. Suddenly, at a wider place, the car ahead __6__ off the road. __7__ that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if anything was wrong.“__8__，”said the other driver，“but you've borne my dust this far, I'll __9__ with yours the rest of the way.”
Another element of courtesy is empathy(善解人意), a __10__ that enables a person to see into the mind or heart of someone else, to understand the pain or __11__ there and to do something to __12__ it. A man dining with his girlfriend in a restaurant was trying to open the cap of a beer bottle, but he couldn't do it because of badly injured __13__. He asked a young busboy to help him. The boy took the bottle, turned his back momentarily and loosened the cap without difficulty. Then he __14__ it again. Turning back to the man, he __15__ to make great efforts to open the bottle without success. Finally, he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly, saying that he had __16__ to loosen it—but only with a special tool.
__17__ another element of politeness is the ability to treat all people __18__， in spite of all status or importance. __19__ when you have doubts about some people, act as if they are worthy of your best manners. You may also be __20__ to find out what they really are.
