    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?

       A. Losing His Way?   B. Going My Way?

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

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.

“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”

And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”

Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”

“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”
