The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It  31  me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can’t  32  why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those  33  situations in which someone doesn’t even  34  that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how many accidents happen. All these situations make me  35  about the purpose of traffic lights.
However, it’s even more  36  to imagine letting people make their own  37  at a crowded traffic crossing. Who decides who goes next?  38  I guess I do like the idea of a system to  39   traffic. And I also do my best to  40  the traffic signals: to go, to be  41 , and to stop when I’m supposed to.
It occurs to me that my  42  have done much the same for me in terms of  43  me how to live. They have given me many  44  lights: to live in harmony with others to help others, to live with  45  and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my  46   doesn’t goastray(走入歧途): to watch my temper, and to control my desires. And there have been some yellow lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, to  47   school regularly and work hard.
If I obey these signals, my life will be as  48  as it can. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking  49  the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the “life  50 ” given me by my parents.

The bicycling craze came in when we were just about at the right age to enjoy it．At first even “safety” bicycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride, and they had to have tricycles．My mother had(I believe)the first female tricycle in Cambridge；and l had a little one，and we used to go out for family rides，all together；my father in front on a bicycle． and my poor brather Charles standing miserable on the bar behind lny mother．I found it very hard work．pounding(轰隆隆行进)away on my hard tyres；a glorious，but not a pleasurable pastinle．
Then, one day at lunch, my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre，filled up,with air，and he thought it might be a success．And soon after that everyone had bicycles，ladies and all; and bicycling became the smart thing，and the lords and ladies had their pictures in the papers，riding along in the park，in straw hats．
My mother must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often，for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises(青肿)on her legs．But she never complained，and always kept these accidents to herself．However，the great Mrs. Phillips，our cook, always knew all a hout them；as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened．She used to draw us into the servants' hall to tell us privately：“Her Ladyship had a nasty fall yesterday；she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist．But don't Iet her know I told you．”So we never dared say anything．Similar little accidents used to occur when，at the age of nearly Seventy，she insisted on learning to drive a car．She never mastered the art of reversing(倒车)，and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver． Mrs．Phillips used then to tell us：“Her Ladyship ran into the back of a milk-cart yesterday；but it wasn't much hurt”；or“A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road；but she said she didn't know what the white Line on the road meant，so he explained arld Let her go on．”Mrs．Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligence Service at her command，for the stories were always true enough．

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting （诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,  41 a bar of chocolate if given the choice,     42   , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the    43   he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
44  as high as he could , but even at his tallest  45  he was unable to touch it. He began to  46 up and down , as high as he could, at the  47 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of  48 .
Not giving up , he thought , if only he had something to  49 on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to  50  the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and Game boy . Looking  51 , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or ,   52 luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use .
He had tried everything he could think to do .   53  seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk   54 .

There’s  59  more I can do to get the apple_that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  60 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?
