It took firemen almost an hour to cut through the wreckage (殘骸) of the car. By the time they reached the driver，Wong，he had died. Seconds before the crash happened, the traffic on the road was flowing smoothly，and Wong was an experienced driver in a sturdy car. What could have caused the tragedy? Alcohol. After Wong had drunk four cans of beer, his physical and mental reactions had slowed. He had a false feeling of confidence. Then he lost control, hitting a fire hydrant and a lamp post.

In almost every other developed country, Wong might have thought twice about getting behind the wheel and setting off in his car after drinking beer. His passengers might have refused to join him. Would you fly with a drunk pilot? Laws and public campaigns against drink-driving in many countries have changed people's lifestyles and saved thousands of lives. Drink-drivers are regarded as potential killers. In some countries, police on roadsides pull over motorists and check whether they have been drinking or not.

In 1995, about 7 % of drivers killed in road accidents in Hong Kong were drink-driving. But this does not tell us the full extent of the problem because it does not show the number of motorists and pedestrians (行人) killed by drink?? drivers who survived their crash. In reality then, the number of people killed as a result of drink-driving must be much higher. But in 1995, only five people were prosecuted (起訴) for being drunk and incapable of controlling a vehicle.

Mr . Wong crashed his car because __________.

A. he had been drinking beer        B. his car was faulty

C. he did not sleep                D.he was not a very good driver

The underlined sentence" Would you fly with a drunk pilot?" questions whether we would_____________.

A. stay with a person we dislike           B. fly on a plane if we were drunk

C. do something obviously dangerous      D.be brave enough to risk our lives

According to paragraph 3, which of the following statements is correct?

A. In 1995 at least 7% of drivers killed in road accidents in Hong Kong were drink-driving.ks.5u

B. Drink-driving is getting worse and worse in Hong Kong.

C. Most drink-drivers survive their crash.

D. The number of pedestrians killed is larger than the number of drivers killed.

　　It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble．That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty．

　　“I was on the way to a personal－inj ury accident in West Nashville．As I got onto Highway 40，blue lights and sirens(警笛)going，I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway．The driver somehow flustered 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 Fi rebird 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 sight was 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。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 panic about．

　　“Just about that time，”Hyde says，“I saw fire coming out from under that car，with blue smoke and oil going everywhere．He'd 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 Firehird 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．

     John Steinbeck once said,"All Americans believe they are born fishermen.For a man to
 admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing(公開譴責(zé))mother-love or hating
 moonlight."?
     I can't say that I'm the biggest John Steinbeck fan.Actually,the only thing I can remember 
reading by him was "The Pearl" when I was in middle school,but I couldn't agree more with 
the man when it comes to fishing.Whether I am on a boat in the middle of Lay Lake,fishing 
off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon(大海鰱)or catching rainbow trout(虹鱒魚)in
 the Shoshone River of Wyoming,fishing is my life.?
     According to the American Sportsfishing Asso ciation,the fishing industry brings in more
 than $116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.?
      Though a beautiful picture to imagine,fishing is much more than that.Fi shing is a way 
of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress.Being a fisherman makes me
 a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life.Even President 
Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when 
the job gets too stressful.?
      I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake
 Mitchell.Although I didn't understand what I was doing,I did know that my grandfather was
 happy and that made me happy.Since then I have spent the past 16 years on the rivers and
 lakes of Alabama.
     After years of practice,before and after work,I slowly developed an understanding of 
fishing.My boss,Ric Horst,took me back to the Shoshone,and I managed to bring in a 
19-inch cutthroat trout.Fishing with Ric was a life-changing experience for me.He not only 
showed me how to fish correctly,but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape 
your problems.?
      Since then,prime-time(黃金時間)season seems to take forever to arrive.?
      Now,with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight,the excitement of 
heading out to Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something 
has finally returned.? ??

1.What John Steinbeck said in the first paragraph implies(暗示)that ______.?
A.Americans are believed to be the descendants of fishermen?
B.it is unthinkable for an American to admit his dislike of fishing?
C.all Americans are expert at fishing?
D.those who dislike fishing would not love their mothers?
2.The writer came to understand the real meaning of fishing ______.?
A.when he was reading "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck?
B.when he went fishing with his grandfather at Lake Mitchell?
C.after he had spent 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama?
D.after he went fishing with his boss,Ric Horst on the Shoshone?
3.What can be inferred from the text?_______.
A.The author is at most 21 years old.?
B.The author regards fishing as a very important part in his life.?
C.The author agreed with John Steinbeck the most when he was in middle school.?
D.President Bush often goes fishing in public in order to collect ideas for his job.?
4.What is the purpose of the writing??
A.To describe the writer's experience and understanding of fishing.?
B.To explain the reason why so many Americans like fishing.?
C.To make others understand the industry of fishing.?
D.To express his opinion about fishing in different time of the year.
