Passage 1 阅读短文,回答问题。

Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip(滑) across the road.

Rule No.1 for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly (平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (溅) it.

Rule No.2 is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow than usual, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.

Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn,I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home,it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella.It was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped.

A few moments later,I saw a young man walk up to the phone box,wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain,so I picked up the phone and pretended(假装)I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away,but he didn’t. He just waited in the rain,watching me. I had to wave my hands about and acted as if I was deep in conversation.

Luckily,the rain began to stop after about ten minutes.“Okay,Mum,” I said loudly into the phone,“I’ll see you later Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box “I’m sorry I took so long,”I said to the man.

“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone, ”he replied, smiling.“I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order.you see.” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down,feeling a complete fool(傻瓜). That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!
