I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association .Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.

There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.

Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.

1.The author was walking through the small seaside town__________.

3. Why was the author astonished when he saw that there was a man in the call box? Because____.

4.The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because____.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It  1 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a  2 to go faster. I also can’t understand why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those  3 situations in which someone doesn’t even  4 that the light turns red, and just keeps going. That is why so many  5 happen! All these situations make me  6 the purpose of traffic lights.

  7 ,it’s even more frightening to imagine letting people make their own decisions at  8 crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next?

It occurs to me that my  12 have done much the same for me  13 teaching me how to live. They have given me many  14 lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to 15 with joy and purpose. They have also given me some red lights  16 my life goes astray(误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there  17 have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to  18 school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these rules, my life will be as  19 as it can be. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking across the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the“  20 signals”given to me by my parents.
