Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, I was late, and I was driving 31_________.

At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was 32_________ on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned 33_________, and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, 34_________ there I sat, waiting for the light to 35_________, the only human being, for at least a mile in any 36_________.

I started wondering why I 37_________ to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was 38_________ no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no 39_________ in going through it.

Much later that 40_________, after I’d met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light 41_________ me. I think I stopped 42_________ it’s part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other. It’ s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to follow 43_________: we don’t go through red lights.

We do 44_________ we say we’ll do. We show up when we say we’ll show up.

I was so 45_________ of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell s someone.

Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground. We listen to music, and we   16   the national flag go up.

   Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was   17   and excited! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too.

   Can I really do it?

   Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher   18   me, “I know you want to have a try. Next Monday, you can give the talk. Go and write something down.   19  for it, I’m sure you’ll do well.”

    “Thank you,” I answered. It was such a great   20   for me! When I got home, I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents  21 . I wanted to make my teacher happy.

   Monday morning came. I began to feel   22  . When did I last give a talk to   23   many people? Never! This was my first time. Could I really   24   it ? Maybe I couldn’t finish the talk.

    “Take it easy,” I said to   26  . “Don’t be nervous. You can do it.”

    Just then, I looked down at everyone. I saw about 1,000 eyes. They were all looking at me ! I couldn’t   27   stand up.

    I looked at their eyes more carefully. Their eyes were saying, “You can do it! Don’t be afraid, just talk!”

    I   28   a big breath. Then I began to talk. It wasn’t hard. It was easy.

    I don’t know   29   I finished my talk. But I did it. I felt so good that day. I showed myself  30  everyone what I can do.
