    It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.

    “I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens(警笛)going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”

    But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.

    Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination (目的地). At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.

    “Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”

    “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license(执照).”

That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty - a thousand dollars for the new engine- not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.

63. The meaning of “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.

       A. shame B. hate    C. anger  D. fear

64. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?

       A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.

      B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.

      C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.

      D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.

65. Which of the following statements is true?

       A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.

      B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.

      C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.

      D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.

66. The driver of the Firebird ______.

       A. took a wrong turn on the way

      B. had some trouble with his car

      C. was stopped by the police officer

      D. paid for the expenses of the accident

67. What is probably the best title for the article?

      C. Fun All the Way?   D. Help on the Way?

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with the    36   problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very   37  , but what makes blogging different from writing in a(n)  38  diary?

The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   40  that he does not want to   41  with others.

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her  43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.

  44 I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but   45  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   46 that my sister might read it.

The biggest   47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something  48  about him in my diary, he would never know.   49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might

  50  her blog and get angry.

There are also   51  to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary “ Nobody cares about me …”, no one would   52  about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly   53  and tell her how much they   54  her. Blog helps people   55  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans, day and night: “Sorry.”

One time as I was walking on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing against my handbag. Even as he continued on his way, he turned back and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t forget to apologize. One day, after I bought a mango, the salesman was giving me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped to the ground. “I’m sorry,” he said while bending down to pick it up. I was puzzled—why would he apologize when it is my fault?

Another time, I stepped on a man’s foot in an escalator, at the same time, we both said “sorry”. I thought it interesting, was it really necessary for him to apologize? Later on, an American friend explained to me that according to the American mentality, the escalators a public place, and everyone should be able to stand in it. After someone occupies a position in the elevator, making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand, isn’t it necessary to express an apology?

If you go to the movies and the tickets happen to be sold out, the ticket seller will say: “Sorry, the tickets are sold out.” Whenever one of your hopes goes unfulfilled, an American will say “sorry” as a sign of sympathy.

During my stay in America, I often came across situations in which I was supposed to say “sorry”. Gradually, I realized that when friction(摩擦)appears in daily life, Americans don’t care much about who is wrong; If someone is troubled, a “sorry” is always necessary. When this happens, even if the other person is hurt, the “sorry” cools tempers and human kindness is shown. Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses, subways or streets of America.

1.How many examples are given to show that Americans like to say “sorry”?

A.One             B.Two              C.Three            D.Four

2.When the author was walking on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly ______.

A.and took away his bag                    B.and touched his bag

3.Which of the following plays a different role in the passage?

A.Paragraph 2       B.Paragraph 3        C.Paragraph 4        D.Paragraph 5

4.At last, the author’s attitude towards the Americans’ “sorry” seems to be ______.

A.angry            B.interested         C.approving(赞成)    D.disappointed

5.The best title for the passage can be “_______”.

A.My life in America                       B.Americans’ “sorry”

C.My experience in an escalator             D.The meaning of “sorry”
