It was the first mow of winter -- an exciting day for every, child but not for most tether. Up until now, l had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help.

 I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I straggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on own boots. “ I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.

  I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do an the work. After mush wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.

I announced,“They’re on the wrong feet.”With the grace that only experience can bring,she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.Then I said,“These aren’t my boots.you know.”As she pulled the offending boots from my feet,she still managed to look both helpful and interested.Once they were off.I said,“They are my brother’s boots.My mother makes me wear them,and I hate them!” Somehow,from long years of practice,she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl.She pushed and shoved.less gently this time,and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet.With a great sigh of relief,seeing the end of her struggle with me,she asked,“Now,where are your gloves?’’

    I looked into her eyes and said.“I didn’t want to lose them.so I put them into the toes of my boots.”

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a  36 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was  37 ,I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got  38 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with  39 .
At one point along an open highway, I  40 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I  41 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to  42 , the only human being for at least a mile in any  43 .
I started  44 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being  45 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no  46 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I  47 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light  48 me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the  49 , but it’s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to  50 it: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more likely to be  51 from doing something bad by the social convention that  52 it than by any law against it.
It’s amazing that we ever  53 each other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too, Trust is our  54 preference.
I was so  55 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
