【正文】 highway, I 3 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I got near to the light, it turned red and I braked to a 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 4 , the only human being for at least a mile in any 5 . I started 6 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being fined, because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no 7 in going through it. Much later that night, after I 8 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I39。d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it39。s part of a contract （合同） we all have with each other. It39。s not only the 9 , but it39。s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to 10 it: we don39。t go through red lights. Like most of us, I39。m more likely to be 11 from doing something bad by the social conventions （社會習俗） that stand by it than by any law against it. It39。s amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn39。t it? I was so 12 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.1. A. flightB. distanceC. roadD. length2.

The last time I was there he told me his story. When he was young, his family is too 1 to have a house to live in. When he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 2 he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a sevenpage paper describing his goal of someday 3 a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great 4 and he even drew a picture to show a 4,000squarefoot house that would sit on a 200acre dream ranch. The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, See me after class. Roberts went to see the teacher and asked, Why did I receive an F? His teacher said, This is a（an） 5 dream for a young boy like you. Having a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There39。s no way you could ever do it. Then the teacher added, If you will rewrite this paper with a more possible goal, I will reconsider your 6 . The boy went home and thought about it for a 7 and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, Look, son, you have to 8 your own mind on this. Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 9 at all. He told his teacher, You could keep the F and I will 10 keep my dream. Monty tells me this story because I am sitting in his 4,000squarefoot house in the middle of his 200acre horse ranch. He said kids39。 dreams can be stolen. Don39。t let anyone steal your dreams.
