At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.
Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.
One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.
They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.
“Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.
“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.
“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.
“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.
“I’ve often wanted a ride in one, but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.
“Jump in,” said Rolls.
“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”
1.The policemen were told “to look the other way” so that _______.
A. they could watch the car coming from the other direction
B. Rolls’s car could go faster than four miles an hour
C. they could make sure no one was in the way
D. the car would not hit them on the road
2.In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?
A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along.
B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.
C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.
D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.
3.The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to _______.
A. teach Rolls a lesson
B. take a free ride home
C. have a talk with Rolls
D. have a car ride experience
4.After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _______.
A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to
B. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance
C. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey
D. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge

No one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But, can they rise to the level of art? Organizers of an exhibit in New York think so.
Peter Souleo Wright organized “The Button Show” at Rush Arts Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Eleven artists used the small, ordinary objects to create sculptures, portraits and wearable art. Some of the works are political, some are personal and others are just fun.
Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art. “What I tried to do with this show,” he said , “was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft.”
He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “because of the amount of detail and precision in the work”.
Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table. A stream of connected red buttons hang over the side, like wine flowing down. Similar red buttons form a small pool on the floor.
McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.
For San Francisco-based artist Lisa Kokin, buttons are highly personal. After her father died in 2001, she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits, including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.
Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long , narrow legs.
“The Button Show” ends at March 12. The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition. The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers: artist Danny, hip-hop producer Russell and rapper Rev. Run. The foundation seeks to bring the artists to urban youth and to provide support for new artists.
1.Why did Wright organize “The Button Show”?
A. To show the importance of buttons.
B. To support the new artists.
C. To raise the button show to the level of art.
D. To create sculptures and portraits.
2.Whose works are personal?
A. Peter Souleo Wright. B. Beau McCall.
C. Lisa Kokin. D. Amalia Amaki.
3.If you want to see “The Button Show”, you should ________.
A. buy tickets before March 12
B. phone Peter Souleo Wright before March 12
C. go to Rush Arts Gallery
D. go to the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundationn
