The city that I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It __36__ me of how many people I've seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can't understand why people don't move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those __37__ situations in which someone doesn't even notice that the light turns red, and just keeps going. That is why so many __38__ happen!

And there __44__ have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behaviour, and to attend school regularly and work hard.

四、阅读理解（共20题；每小题2分，满分40分）
(A)
The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to
Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down."
"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
"I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
I looked down on the computer. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"
"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."
So when it goes down, you go down with it."
"That's good, sir."
"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us."
After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?"
"I couldn't tell without asking the computer."
"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington, " I suggested.
" I wouldn't know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket."
"Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
"I don't know, " she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only'IT' knows. 'It' can't tell me."
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was
down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

A. When the Computer Is Down

parents should stop blaming themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He's forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn't forgotten them. He's just decided that he's not going to use them. She confessed that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the tabl e, stare at me and say, “I don't like your dress; it's ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. “Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
51. This text is most probably written by ______.
A. a specialist in teenager studies
B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenage children
D. a doctor for mental health problems
52. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the change from good to bad that's seen in a child
B. the way that parents often blame themselves
C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
D. the advice that parents want their children to follow
53. From the boy on the sofa would most probably be described as______.
A. lazy
B. quiet
C. unusually
D. rude
54. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.
A. pay no attention to them
B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them
D. feel helpless to do much about them
54. What is the author's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B. Parents should pay still some attention to the change.
C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.
