完形填空。     One night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of eighty miles. I was late so I drove
very   1   . Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was shouting and
  2   the steering wheel（方向盘）with impatience.
    At one point along an open highway , I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road,
but as I got   3   the light, it turned red and I stopped. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,
no   4   of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile
in any    5  .
     I started wondering why I refused to run the red light. There was obviously no policeman around, and it
certainly would not have been    6 in going through it.
     Later that night, after I had climbed into bed, the question of why I stopped for that light   7   back to me.
I did so because it"s part of a contract (协议) we all have with each other. It"s not only the law, but an
agreement we have, and we trust each other to  8   it.
     It"s   9   that we ever trust each other to do the right things. It"s a good thing because the whole structure
of our society depends on trust. This whole thing we have going for us would fall apart if we didn"t trust each
other most of the time. We do   10   we say we"ll do; and we pay when we say we"ll pay. We trust each other
in these matters, and when we don"t do what we"ve   11 , others will be angry or disappointed with us because
we violate(亵渎) the  12  they have in us. I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night!

     Huihua, a Chinese girl, and Mary, an American student who was studying Chinese in China, were on their
way to a bookstore. As they got to the bookstore, they saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry,
he missed the last two steps, and fell to the ground. He tried hard to get back to his feet while people around
him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
     Mary was worried. She found Huihua smiling a little and was not comfortable about it. "Tell me, Huihua,
how could people laugh when someone felllike that? Do they care at all? Shouldn"t they go up and ask the
young man whether he was hurt?"
     "They knew he wasn"t hurt too much." Huihua said.
     "But I still don"t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would do anything but laugh!"
     Chinese Perspective (观点)
     This is an example in which the Chinese and the westemers explain a smile differently. Very often, the
Chinese people would also laugh or make a joke to ease the embarrassment (缓解尴尬) when they are caught
in the embarrassing situation. However, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any
more. People will help him instead.
     North American Perspective A westemer would explain laughter in such a situation as a sign of either
insensitivity (不关心) or, worse, pleasure that the person falling had hurt himself because that person was
disliked. A westemer"s reaction would have been to rush over, help the person up, and to ask him," Are you
OK"?" If a westemer fell, he, like a Chinese person, might probably make a joke out of the incident (事件)
if he was not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one trips but clearly isn"t hurt, a common
joke is to say "Have a nice trip". However, this joke would be made only between two people who knew each
other well.

1. Did Huihua help the young man after he fell down in the bookstore?
   ________________________________________________________
2. How did Mary feel about Huihua"s attitude towards the young man?
   ________________________________________________________
3. In a westemer"s opinion, what does the laughter in an embarrassing situation show?
________________________________________________________
4. What does the underlined word "trip" mean?
   ________________________________________________________
5. What is the main idea of the passage?

     Lisa, 6, used to argue with her mum about everything. One day, after an hour of  arguing,  Lisa said,
" Mum, you never let me make decisions.  You always decide what we are going to eat or where we are going
to go. "
     The next day her mum called,  " Lisa, you can decide what you are going to eat. I"ll cook whatever you
want, but you have to eat up whatever you ask for. " A big smile spread across Lisa"s face.  "Okay. I"d like
bacon, sausages, toast, eggs and chocolate milk. "
     Lisa liked this. She ate the bacon, sausages and toast, but when she finished her first egg, she was full. Lisa
forced herself to eat up and then she walked to school. When she got to school, her stomach hurt, but by the
time she was ready to go home,  she had been back to normal.

she started smiling, knowing it wouldn"t be much longer before Lisa leamed her lesson.  Lisa had no problem
finishing the steak, pie, peas, bread and butter, but when she started eating the chocolate cake, she felt very
full. That night she had a stomachache.  She was up all night crying and felt very sick.
     The next moming she went to her mum,  " Mum, I don"t want to make all the choices any more.  I want
you to pick what we"ll have for dinner in the future. "
     Satisfied that Lisa had leamed her lesson, her mum replied,  " You can pick what to eat once a week, but
don"t ask for too much, all right?"

     Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the table and count out the money Papa had brought home.
Mama would carefully divide big groups for the housing, and food, and one or two coins for Nels or   1
-Katrin to buy notebooks.
     With     2   interest we would watch the money becoming less and less. At last Papa would ask, "Is all?"
When Mama nodded, we could relax a little. For Mama would look up and smile, "Is good," she"d say,
"we do not have to go to the Bank.”
     It was a wonderful thing, that bank account (银行账户) of Mama"s. We were all so proud of it.It gave us
such a warm,    3   feeling.
     When finishing school Nels wanted to go on to high. "It will cost a little money," Nels said to Mama.
     We gathered around the table watching a box in front of Mama. This was the "Little Bank" -used for
unexpected situations. Nels had it all written out. So much for what he would need. Mama looked at the    4
for a long time. Then she counted the money in the Little Bank. There wasn"t enough.
     "We do not," she said to us gently, "want to have to go to the Bank."
      We all    5   our heads.
      "I"ll work in Dillon"s shop after school," Nels   6   .
       Mama smiled at him. Papa said, "Is not enough.”Then he took his pipe out of his mouth."I give up
smoking," he said. Mama    7   the table and touched Papa"s hand, but she didn"t say anything.
     "I will mind the Elvington children every Friday night," I said.
      "Is good," Mama said.
      We all felt very good. We had passed another milestone（绊脚石 )    8   having to go downtown and draw
money out of the bank.
      So many things,I remember, came out of the Little Bank during the past 20 years. Even during the Strike（罢工）,Mama wouldn"t let us worry too much. We all worked together   9   the important trip downtown
could be put off.
      The day the Strike was over and Papa    10   to work, I saw Mama stand a little straighter. Last year I sold
my first story. I hurried to Mama"s and showed her the check. " For you," I said, "to put in your Bank Account. "
     "Is no    11    ," Mama said. "In all my life, I"ve never been inside a Bank. "
     And when I didn"t-couldn"t-answer, Mama said   12   ,"Is not good for little ones to be afraid-to not feel
safe. "
