　　One day, a man stopped his car at the traffic lights．The woman in front of his car was going through some newspapers in her car, and when the lights changed to green she didn’t go．A green light is more of an order than a suggestion, but she didn’t notice．

　　When the lights turned red again, the woman still had not moved．The man in the car behind now started shouting and hitting his steering wheel(方向盘)．

　　A policeman knocked on his window and asked for his driving license．“You can’t fine me for what I am doing in my own car!” said the driver．The policeman replied, “I didn’t want to fine you for shouting in your car．But I was directly behind you at the light, and when I saw your behaviour I said to myself, ‘That man is out of control．He’s going to hurt someone!’ Then I noticed the cross hanging from your rear view mirror(后视镜)，the bright yellow ‘Love Is a Choice’ license tag, the ‘Give Peace a Chance’ and ‘Patience Changes Things’ stickers(标签)．So I thought you might have stolen the car．”

　　The man’s behaviour did not reflect his car stickers．But are we always who we want to be? Personal change can happen when we act like the person we hope to be．The important question is not “Who are you today?” but “Who will you be tomorrow?”

When one of your car tires goes flat, there are two things you can do, you can complain and change it or, if you don't have a spare, stand helplessly beside the road and hope someone comes to your rescue. Now comes a third choice, called Quick wheel. It is designed to get disabled motorists rolling again as quickly as possible.

Quick wheel is basically a tiny emergency trailer-complete with three tough little wheels of its own-that supports the flat tire and enables the motorist to drive to a service station without losing much time or expending much energy. The product is made in the Netherlands but is owned and marketed by a US company, Quick wheel Inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut. According to the firm's president, Robert Bockweg, the product meets each of the major worries that customers relate with flat tires: safety, lost time and physical labor.

To use it, motorists simply unfold the product to its fully extended position, set it in front of the disabled tire, drive the car onto the Quick wheel's ramp(斜板) and fix a special safety strap over the tire. The tire is then locked, or cradled, in Quick wheel's metal frame. Its three wheels do the rest of the work. According to Quick wheel Inc, its product can be driven "for miles" at the speed of up to 45 miles per hour "without any noticeable change in the vehicle's braking (车辆刹车) or steering operation". The company also says that it can be used on just about any type of car, jeep, mini-van or trailer (拖车).

Bockweg says that Quickwheel will be sold first in the United States, at a price of $150. Sales agreements now being talked over should make the product ready for use in Japan, Canada and Western Europe in the near future. (words: 314 ; time :5ms)

1. What does the underlined phrase "disabled motorists" (Paragraph 1) probably mean?

A. Motorists who can't walk. 　 B. Motorists who have disabilities.

C. Drivers who can't drive on because of a flat tire. D. Drivers who are hurt in an accident.

2. According to the information in the passage, Quickwheel ________ .

A. can be used to replace a flat tire 　

B. provides a kind of support to the flattire for a short time

C. is able to move as quickly as a wheel

D. is as changeable and lasting as an ordinary wheel

3. It is suggested but not clearly stated that Quickwheel ________ .

A. can't be used in place of a tire overlong distances

B. will be used first in the US

C. can be folded and unfolded

D. performs well over various kinds of road surfaces

4. The main purpose of writing this text is to ________ .

A. announce a business agreement

B. share information about flat tire changing

C. introduce the advantages of a new tire

D. introduce a new product-Quick-wheel
