“You ought to be ashamed of yourself, breaking the law and endangering your life that way.” I protested.
He looked at me, astonished, “Ashamed of myself? I am a law abiding(守法的) citizen and have no desire to get killed either.” He cut me off before I could protest.
“No, just listen to me before you complain. What did I do? Went through a red light. Well, did you ever stop to consider what a red light is? What it means?”
“Certainly,”I replied. “It’s a stop signal and means the traffic is rolling in the opposite direction.”
“Half-right,”said the driver, “But incomplete. It’s only an automatic(自动的) stop signal. And it does not mean that there is cross traffic. Did you see any cross traffic during our trip? Of course not. I slowed down at the light, looked carefully to the right and to the left. Not another car on the street at this hour. Well, then! What would you have me do? Should I stop like a stupid animal because an automatic, brainless machine turns red every forty seconds? No, sir,”he shouted, “I am a man, not a machine. I have eyes and a brain and judgment, given me by God. Ashamed of myself, you say? I would only be ashamed of myself if I let those blinking lamps do my thinking for me. Good night,sir.”

I was in my office, when a young man came by. He was obviously very 36 and close to tears. He was an older student and always appeared like a tough guy, 37 showing emotion.
He had told me 38 that he was dealing with some difficult 39 problems. He was a caregiver for his sister who was ill. This day he came in, sat down and just sobbed(抽泣). I 40 while he told me how he had been up all night in the hospital with his sister and that was why he couldn’t take my exam that morning. I told him not to 41 it at all. He was clearly in no shape for an exam. I told him to go home and 42 . I reassured(使放心) him that I would do everything I could to help him get through the class.
I just sat there while he sobbed. “I think she might die,” he gasped(喘着气说). “What am I going to do?” It was clear to me that he had never 43 this fear out loud to anyone. I just sat there, fully focused on him and his 44 , and tried to offer some soft words of 45 .
After quite some time, he 46 himself. I reassured him again that it didn’t matter to me when he took his exam and that I would help him through. Then he left.
Afterwards, I felt like his 47 was a blessing(为人带来幸福的事). Being able to help him while I was in pain myself was the most valuable gift.
Life never gives more than we can handle.

“Embrace it. Roll with it,” my husband, Lonny, says, “It’s going to be like this for a while.”
He is right. It’s likely that life will continue to go forward before it slows down. But I remembered the still, quiet days that our family used to enjoy. I missed long walks through the park when we held the boys’ little hands. I longed for(渴望) lazy Saturday afternoons under the tree in our backyard. I wanted to slip back a few years, when busyness was the exception and not the rule.
One night, after a particularly full day and evening games, our family gathered on the porch(门廊)for ice cream. Two parents, two teens, and three small boys piled on one old swing and a couple of rocking chairs. We were together, in one place, for a small slice of time.
The moon was full. The Mississippi River, flowing past our home, was smooth as glass. I wrapped my own arms around the son who sat on my lap and breathed deeply to inhale his little-boy scent(气味)—dirt and sweat. My heart was still and content(满足的).
I realized that while crazy is our new normal happiness is as usual. They may look different from before, but they are still there—even if they’re in the form of a single moment on the porch. Maybe I just need the eyes to see.

“When our families go to the grocery store looking for safe and healthy foods to feed their kids, the last thing they should have to worry about is poisonous bags.” Schumer said, “A quick investigation will allow everyone to make informed, timely decisions.” Schumer added.
Lead in the bags is not likely to rub off (因摩擦而粘在……上面)on food. But over time, paint on the bags can chip and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be released(释放).
The Tampa Tribune newspaper said certain bags sold at Publix and Winn-Dixie supermarkets had lead levels that were a concern to health officials. The affected bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Sough Carolina and Tennessee. Publix says that all of its bags are under current laws about lead content, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce the lead levels in the product.
The bags with the highest levels of lead had fancy designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without decoration were found to contain little lead. Consumers worried about lead levels in reusable bags can change to cloth or string bags. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be recycled(回收).
Since 2007, Publix supermarkets have sold more than 13 million reusable bags. The store says because shoppers have made the change to reusable bags, it has saved more than 1 billion paper and plastics bags.
小题1: The shopping bags containing high levels of lead ______.
A.have been reported by a newspaper |
B.have been stopped by the government |
C.have stopped people from using reusable bags |
D.have caused serious health damage to customers |
A.reusable bags do little harm to kids’ health |
B.people have shown much concern for the reusable bags |
C.people will be informed of the facts about the reusable bags |
D.people should refuse to buy things from supermarkets |
A.dependable | B.convenient | C.harmful | D.popular |
A.with colorful designs | B.with fancy pictures |
C.made of plastic | D.made of paper |
A.caused Publix a lot of trouble | B.saved Publix much money |
C.cost Publix plenty of money | D.been proved a wrong decision |
