10、miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握）my fists with impatience.At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I a

11、pproached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light

12、. I was not afraid of being arrested，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we

13、all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency. We have to

14、make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical. Those attitudes don't e naturally to us.It's a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't t

15、rust each other most of the time. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'11 show up;we deliver when we say we'll deliver;and we pay when we say we'11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the norm

16、al. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.21. Why did the author feel impatient

17、 while driving?A. Because he had already driven for a long time.B. Because it was too far away from his destination.C. Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.D. Because something urgent happened in his family.22. The author stopped at the traffic light because_.A. there were passers-

18、by crossing the roadB. some policemen were on duty just at that pointC. there was potential dangerD. the trust between people influenced the author23. What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?A. The social system would be thrown into disorder.B. All the things would run

19、normally.C. the social traditions would be abandoned.D. Strict rules and laws would be made.24. What is the theme of the passage?A. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.B. Mutual Trust is the best policy.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Among the blind the one-eyed is the kingBGreat Yarmouth

30、or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet. To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit fortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel pletely content to say nothing

31、 in a conversation? Hes highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but hell sit quietly and just listen.

As my forty

36、-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity.
