Generally speaking, nobody would like to put themelves into troubles what is actually a simple case.
It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That"s more or less happened on the
night that Nashville police officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
"I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue
lights and sirens(警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off
quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than
a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
But Hyde couldn"t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worring
about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird
in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit(附近的警局)would be able to step in and stop the
speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac
made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found unit had already
arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn"t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the
Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
"Just about that time," Hyde says. "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and
oil going everywhere. He had blown his engine. Now he had to stop."
"After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn"t have a driver"s license".
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty extra --- a thousand dollars for the new engine ---
not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving. |
| 1. The meaning of "go out of one"s way" (in Para. 1) probably means ______ |
A．changing directions
B．forgeting duties
C．speeding up
D．taking trouble to do something |
| 2. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway? |

Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week．We were supposed to do
nice things 1 our friends without letting them know who was doing it．We could leave 2 notes or
cards either on their desks or in their backpacks．Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a
basket, we 3 a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriened over the next five days．

about my words．It wasn"t 13 like me to say things like that．

the 16 and the horrible treatment silently．
I was sick to my stomach as my 17 words ran through my mind．She had heard everything．
How could I have been so cruel?

mum had given up her only luxury(奢侈品)．
And I had 18 everything for her．

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the
path．I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn"t covered by water or
mud．As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack．It was so
unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected．I was surprised as well as unhurt though I
had been struck four or five times．I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me．Had
I been hurt I wouldn"t have found it amusing．And I was laughing．After all, I was being attacked by
a butterfly!
Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward．My attacker rushed me again．He charged
towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain．For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused．I wasn"t sure what to do．After all, it"s just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly．I stepped back to look the situation over．My attacker moved back to land on the
ground．That"s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier．He had a
mate and she was dying．
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her．I could only admire the
love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate．He had taken it up on himself to attack
me for his mate"s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large．He did so just to give
her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her．His
courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate"s
safety seemed admirable．I couldn"t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult
side of the pool．He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed．
Since then, I"ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers
facing me. |

Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I
wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to activate（激励）them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare,
people from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three
hours every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.
The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, “I’d like to know what your dreams
are.” Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.
One woman said to me, “I don’t know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating up my
kids.”
“Oh,” I said, “That’s terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your
kids. How can that be helped?”
“Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door.” I asked, “Is there
anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?”
There was a man in the group and he said, “A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I
have a terribly bad back, but I’ll try.”
I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the
lady’s screen door. “Do you think you can do that?”
“Yes, I’ll try.”
The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, “Well, is your screen door fixed?”
“Oh, yes.” she said.
“Then we can start dreaming, can’t we?” she sort of smiled at me.
I said to the man who did the work, “How do you feel?”
He said, “Well, you know, it’s very funny thing. I’m beginning to feel a lot better.”
That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see
that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really
could happen.
Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks, I
had all those people off public welfare. I’ve not only done that once, I’ve done that in many times. |
| 1．What’s the opinion the author had when he took on the work? |
A．People need to be activated by others to make a living.
B．Everyone should not have depended on public welfare.
C．Everyone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare.
D．The county should gather people from different racial groups together. |

A．The author did the work at his own expense.
B．The people the author worked with were very wealthy.
C．The author usually met the people four times a month.
D．The people the author worked with had no dreams at all. |
| 3．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? |
A．The rats are so big that they eat the children.
B．The rats are crazy and have the children as food.
C．The rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble.
D．The kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats. |
| 4．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? |

C．I have had those people off public welfare.
D．Your dream comes before it becomes a reality. |
