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-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens 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 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（执照）. "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.1.

While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.1.The story took place in ____.2. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because___.3. The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _____.4.

The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong with one of the score cards.A 9 had been recorded as a 7.

Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits.When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcome thousandsof difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was muchopposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed thatthe noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people thattrains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of peopleand goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents.However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himselfshowed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success.1.
