“When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating (惱人的) things such as the radio that was always too loud,the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed,etc.,I find that the irritations really don’t amount to much.

A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone, when a police car came behind him with the flashers(警燈) on. As he pulled over and stopped, he could see a policeman getting out of his car. Right away the man started thinking of excuses to give, as this was not the first time, he had been in similar situations many times before.
As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you caught me a little bit over the limit. I was in a rush to get home, to be with my wife and kids, you know my younger son wasn’t feeling too well, when I left home this morning.”
The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started scribbling(速寫) in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was still scribbling. The man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driver’s license so far. A few moments later, the policeman came to his window and handed him a folded paper, and returned back to his car without saying a single word. The man started to wonder, how much this ticket is going to be as he began to unfold the paper. He was surprised it was not a ticket as he began to read:
“I had a daughter who was killed by a speeding car at the age of six, by a speeding driver like you. He got a fine (懲罰), a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug his two other daughters. I only had one, and now I have to wait until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now. So pray(為……祈禱) for me, and be careful when you drive again, my son is all I have left.”
The man was completely dumbfounded(目瞪口呆的) and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
52. Why did the policeman stop the man?
A. Because the man drove after drinking.
B. Because the man drove at a speed of 40 miles an hour.
C. Because the man drove over the speed limit
D. Because the man drove in a 40-mile-zone.
53. Which statement is TRUE according to the article?
A. It was the first time that the man had driven over the limit a little bit.
B. He was in a rush to get home because his son was not feeling well.
C. This story happened in the morning.
D. The policeman didn’t believe the excuse the man gave.
54. From what the policeman said in Paragraph 4 we know that ______.
A. he wanted to go to heaven to hug his daughter
B. he recognized the man who had driven the speeding car who killed his daughter
C. the man who had killed the policeman’s daughter was free to do anything in prison
D. the man who had killed the policeman’s daughter hugged his own daughters in prison
55. Why did the man at last drive slowly?
A. Because he was afraid to be fined again.
B. Because he heard his son was feeling well.
C. Because he was driving in a 40-mile-zone.
D. Because he got a good lesson from what the policeman had written.

請閱讀下列寓言小故事和故事寓意,從所給的六個選項( A、B、C、D、E和F)中,選出附和各小題要求的最佳選項
下面是幾則寓言小故事:
46. An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the birdcatcher shouted, and noise made the dove take wing.
47. Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveler descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. “He gave me this advice,” his companion replied. “Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.”
48. A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.
49. A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. “Ho! Ho!” said he, “that’s for me,” and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. “You may be a treasure,” signed the cock, “to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.”
50. An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around hi to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: “Break it.” The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. “Untie it,” said the father, “and each of you take a stick.” When they had done so, he called out to them: “Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken.
請閱讀下面的故事寓意,然后匹配與之對應(yīng)的小故事。

B. One man’s pleasure may be another’s pain. / One man’s meat is another’s poison.
