I. Fill each of the blanks in the passage with one suitable word:
With the coming of the motor car at the end of the last century a new era in personal transport was born. The early motorist certainly (1)…had his problems- perhaps the biggest one being (2) whether his vehicle would start or not. This problem has almost (3) disappeared/vanished/ended today but others have (4) taken its place. More traffic and faster vehicles mean that, (5) however safe and reliable a car may be, its driver has to have (6) gained/acquired/much/far/lots more driving skill than ever before.
Today`s drivers cannot neglect their own direct and personal (7) responsibility for the accidents that happen on the road every year. A good driver has many things (8) in his make- up. Some of (9) them, such as experience and skill, will come only in (10) time, but others - just as important - must (11) form/be part of him from the start. These qualities are a (12) sense/feeling of responsibility for the safety of others, a determination to (13) concentrate/focus on the job of driving, patience and courtesy. Together, these become what is generally known (14) as the drivers` attitude.
(15) not everyone is patient (16) by nature or gifted with good (17) power concentration. But because attitude is (18) so important a part of safe driving, every driver must (19) make a real effort to develop these qualities - and this effort must start from the (20) very beginning of the first driving lesson.
