Doctor and Robber (抢劫犯)

One night about nine o’clock, Dr. Elyck, a surgeon (外科医生), had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clense Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.

The doctor was soon on his way to Clense Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock. A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.

It was after two o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clense Falls.

Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.

The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.

There are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver’s seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world’s population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.

Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other’s right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal’s left. Obviously, it’s safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense (行得通)for the horse to be ridden on the left.

A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑)conquered(攻占) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外，除外)is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败) by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.

Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether

People drive on the left side of the road in Egypt. C. People have known the exact reasons for driving on the left. D. Napoleon helped with the spread of left-hand driving. 45. What is the writer’s purpose for writing this passage? A. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving. B. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving. C. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving. D. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.

Palm reading, or palmistry (手相术), is the art of studying the lines on the palm of the hand to describe a person’s characteristics and foretell（预知） future events in a person’s life.

To study a person’s characteristics and future, a palm reader looks carefully at the three main lines on the active hand (the one a person writes with). The reader usually looks first at a person’s Life Line. This begins under the index finger (食指), and goes down towards the wrist (手腕). This line describes the way a person lives his or her life. A person with a deep Life Line is energetic and competitive (好竞争的). If a person has a faint (模糊的) line, he or she is more of a thinker than a doer.

The Heart Line runs across the hand, just below the fingers. This line describes one’s feelings. A person with a deep Heart Line is a peace maker. Family is important to this person. Those with a faint line do not like to be alone. They are often controlled by their feelings.

The Head Line is below the Heart Line, it describes how a person thinks. A person with a long Head Line thinks about things very carefully. Those with short Head Line do well in
