The other day on a cold night, I left my wife and drove from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 100 miles. It was rather late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.

At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.

Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract（契约）we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it： we don't go through red lights.

Trust is our first inclination. Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do； we show up when we say we'll show up； and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.

I am so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

1.How does the author feel about the truck driver?

A.Pleased. B.Satisfied.

C.Sorry. D.Annoyed.

2.What can we infer about the author?

A.He hates driving at night.

B.He desired to cross the red light that night.

C.He approves of obeying traffic rules by himself.

D.He is easy when suffering the traffic jam.

3.What is the meaning of the underlined word "inclination" in paragraph 5?

A.Tendency. B.Faith.

C.Adjustment. D.Guidance.

4.What should we do to create a better society according to the author?

A.Be polite to others. B.Improve traffic rules.

C.Be patient and helpful. D.Trust each other.

One morning, my newspaper wasn’t delivered on time. Since I always brought it to work, it upset me that I would have to pick one up on my way to work. After breakfast, I was already running late, but figured I could make it if I hurried.

As I pulled into the parking lot of the store, I noticed a young man in a wheelchair who seemed to be struggling. “Someone else will stop and help him,” I thought.

However, no one stopped. I got out, and walked over to see what the trouble was.

“Is there anything I can do?” I asked. It was then that I noticed he wasn’t able to speak, and was still struggling with the chair.

I looked down at the chair and noticed that the clamps (夹具) holding the electronic keyboard had apparently become loose causing the equipment to slip down, out of his reach.

I pulled it back into place and then re-tightened the clamps. He hit a key on the keyboard. An electronic voice told me, “Thank you.” He then found the control that steered (操纵) the chair, turned and left.

I got back in my car and headed off to work, completely forgetting my newspaper. As I drove, I felt a deep gratitude (感激). I was truly blessed to have the physical abilities that allow me to live a normal life. Here was this young man who relied on machines to get around and communicate. He probably dreamed about doing all the things that I thought were normal and simple.

It’s funny; fifteen minutes before that happened, I was whining because my morning paper hadn’t arrived on time. I was glad I helped the young man, because he helped me gain a new viewpoint on everything I had in my life.

1.Why did the author stop at the store?

A. To do his job.　　 B. To have breakfast.

C. To buy a newspaper.　　 D. To drive a colleague to work.

2.What was the young man trying to reach?

A. The clamps.　　 B. The car key.

C. The wheelchair.　　 D. The electronic keyboard.

3.What does the underlined word “whining” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Complaining.　　 B. Worrying.

C. Arguing.　　 D. Crying.

4.What did the author learn from the experience?

A. Treasure what we have.　　 B. Treat the disabled nicely.

C. Technology has changed our lives.　　 D. Don’s get annoyed over small things.
