    　 Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if
    you're dead." 　　
         Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a
    mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why. 　　
         There have been many myths (误区) about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty
    years ago. The following are three of the most common.  　　
         Myth Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident. 　　
         Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to
    give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door
    to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people
    are "thrown clear". 　　
         Myth Number Two: Safety-belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
         Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety
    belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to
    the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having
    a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them. 　　
         Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph). 　　
         Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
    with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

    　　It was just too late, what will all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl．So here we were－Christmas Eve around 9∶00 p. m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nested snug in their beds．Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child．“What if the bicycle out of clay(a kind of earth)and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked．“This is an expensive item and she is ‘such a big girl,’ and it would be much better for her to pick it out．”So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike．

    　　On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note．Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud．“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Beaming, I said,“Yes．”Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied,“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me．I’d rather keep this than get a real bike．”At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy every bicycle on the planet!

    　　Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake．On the day before bass(巴斯鱼)season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms．Then the boy tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵)and put it into the lake．Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure．His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank．Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water．It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass．

    　　The boy and his father looked at the big fish．The father lit a match and looked at his watch．It was 10 p.m.－two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish, then at the boy．“You’ll have to put it back, son,”he said．

    　　“Dad!”cried the boy．“There will be other fish,”said his father．“Not as big as this one,”cried the boy．He looked around the lake．No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight．He looked again at his father．

    　　Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water．The big fish disappeared．The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish．

    　　That was 34 years ago．Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City．He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place．

    　　And he was right．He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago．But he does see that same fish…again and again…every time he has an ethical(道德的)decision to make．For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong．It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult．

    　　I’m seventeen．I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles．People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars．It was hard work．

    　　While working, you wear a plate with your name on it．I once met someone I knew years ago．I remembered his name and said, “Mr．Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that．As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett．” I felt great, he remembered me．Then I looked down at my name plate．Oh no．He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate．I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate．If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him．There’s nothing personal here．

    　　The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders．One of these was：You couldn’t accept tips．Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car．For a lot of people, the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me．I’d say, “I’m sorry, I can’t．” They’d get angry．When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite．You take a quarter and you put it in their hands and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot．” When you say, “I’m sorry, I can’t,” they feel a little put down．They say, “No one will know．” And they put it in your pocket．You say, “I really can’t．” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you．It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly．Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good．I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas．One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away．I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something．

    　　I had decided that one year was enough．Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed．I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up．

    (1)

    What can be the best title for this text?

    [　　]

    A．

    How Hard Life is for Box Boys

    Getting along with Customers

    B．

    C．

    Mr．Castle mistook Irving for Brett

    D．

    Irving was the writer’s real name

    (3)

    The box boy refused to accept tips because _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    customers only gave small tips

    B．

    some customers had strange ideas about tipping

    C．

    the store forbade the box boys to take tips

    D．
