It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was driving, I39。d say I was not overspeeding （超速）. Several times I got 2 behind a slowmoving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with impatience. At one point along an open 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(huì)習(xí)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.
