happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
"I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40,
blue lights and siren (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed
to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was
going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
But Hyde couldn"t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than
worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to
keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and
stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sightwas not that difficult. Every
turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination (目的地). At that point he found another
unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn"t needed. Now he was free to try to
stop the driver of the firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panick about.
"Just about that time," Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke
and oil going everywhere. He"s blown his engine. Now he had to stop."
"After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn"t have a driver"s license.
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to
mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.

to all." This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children. But not many grown-
ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song

sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Archie!

Mr. Dawson was an old grouch (脾气坏的人), and everyone in town knew it. 1 knew not to go into his yard to pick an apple, because old Dawson would come after you with his gun. One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They 2 go by Dawson"s house, but as they got close Janet saw him 3 on his front porch (门廊) and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was 4 of the old man. Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, 5 when he saw it was Amy, he gave a(n) 6 smile. Amy smiled back and told him Janet was 7 overnight with her to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each a(n) 8 . Later, Janet asked Amy:"Everyone says he"s the meanest man in town. 9 he was so nice to us?" Amy explained that when she 10 started walking past his house he wasn"t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing a(n) 11 smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled 12 . After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always 14 her an apple now, and is always very kind. "An invisible smile?" questioned Janet. "Yes," answered Amy, "My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn"t 14 and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, 15 he would really smile." If we remember that 16 wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most people can"t 17 our sunniness after a while. We"re always on the go trying to 18 so much, aren"t we? It"s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how easily we can bring 19 to ourselves and others. Giving a smile 20 so little efforts; let"s make sure that we"re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smiles. | |||||||||||||||||||||
