A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the 16 ， shouting angrily at each other.He 17 his disciples (弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in 18 at each other？”The disciples 19 for a while and one of them said, “Because we 20 our calm, we shout.”“But, why should you shout 21 the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n) 22 manner，” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none 23 the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their 24 . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to 25 each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to 26 that great distance. What 27 when two people fall in love? They don"t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very 28 . The distance between them is either nonexistent (不存在的) or very small.”
The wise man 29 ，“When they love each other even more, they do not 30 ， but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they 31 need not whisper. They only look at each other and that"s 32 . That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his disciples and said, “So when you 33 ， do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more. 34 there will come a day when the distance is so great that you"ll not find the path to 35 . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”

A few minutes later, I saw a young man walk up to the phone box, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a tool box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain, so I 33 the phone and pretended I was talking to 34 . I thought he would go away, 35 he didn’t.

On the night of May 9, 2011, musician Gao Xiaosong ran his car into three other cars in Beijing.
But it wasn’t just a car accident—he was drunk(喝醉的).
Now, Gao has to go to prison (监狱) for six months and pay a 4,000 yuan fine.
Gao is the first star to be punished under China’s new drunk driving law.
From May 1 on, drunk drivers will pay a fine, and be banned from driving for five years or even forever.
Drunk driving has become a serious social problem in China.According to the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), police caught more than half a million drunk drivers last year, a 68 % increase from 2009.
The new law sees drunk driving as a crime.
In the West, drunk driving is also a crime. In the US, for example, if the police catch a drunk driver, the driver will pay a fine, lose his or her license (驾照) and even go to prison. If the driver wants to drive again, he or she must do public service, and take part in educational programs.
You may think: drunk driving is a crime? Isn’t this law too unkind? But experts say, “Not at all.”
“It is to protect people’s rights to life and health,” Li Gang, lawyer in Chengdu, told China Daily. “Drunk driving is very dangerous. No matter what the results are, it should not be allowed.”
小题1:Mr. Gao ran his car into three other cars because _________.| A．there was something wrong with his car | | B．he went home too late | | C．he drank too much wine | | D．the road was too crowded |

小题4:What do experts think of the new law?| A．Drunk driving is a crime. | | B．The law is not kind to drunk drivers. | | C．Driving has become a serious problem. | | D．The law is too strict. |
小题5: Which of the following sentence is TRUE?| A．Li Gang from Chengdu doesn’t like the law. | | B．In the US, drunk drivers will only lose their licenses. | | C．There were more drunk drivers in 2010 than in 2009. | | D．The law is to protect drivers’ rights to life and health only. |
