It was dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding her hand out as if she wanted a lift. “I can’t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the door. “Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while, she said to the old woman, “Have you been waiting for a long time?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange,” thought the young woman. She tried again. “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. No matter what she said, the hitchhiker (搭便車的人 ) gave no answer except for a nod of the head or a shrug. Then the young woman noticed the hitchhiker’s hands which were large and hairy. Suddenly she realized that the hitchhiker was actually a man! She stopped the car. “I can’t see out of the rear screen,” she said. “Would you mind clearing it for me?” The hitchhiker nodded and opened the door. As soon as the hitchhiker was out of the car, the terrified young woman raced off. When she got to the next village she pulled up. She noticed that the hitchhiker had left his handbag behind. She picked it up and opened it. She gave a gasp — inside the bag was a gun. 24. The young woman stopped the car because ______.

It is partly due to(由于 ) the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework. Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce (鞏固 )what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it’s the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school. However, many parents seem to have different ideas. Elisa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that thirdgrade students in DC elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. She said,“They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternate (交替的 ) ways of thinking about books, reading and writing.” Some education reformers (改革者 ), such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor wellknown for his theory on multiple intelligence, think tha
