“Let me give you a(n)36,” I continued,37all sixty students in the class.“In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live.

I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t40. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and41down the road to the college.”

“As soon as I got there I called AAA(汽车协会) and42for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the Provost’s office asked me what had happened.‘This is my43day,’ I replied, smiling.”

I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was46to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.’”

“The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

You may admire both the romantic love story and the mysterious city of Rome in the movie Roman Holiday. If you are planning to visit Rome, here are some cultural dos and don’ts you should know.

Coffee Etiquette: Italian breakfast consists of pastry and a cup of Cappuccino or shot of espresso. If eaten outside of home, breakfast is always consumed standing up at the local bar. An espresso is not sipped; it is downed in one gulp. Cappuccino is generally a morning drink and is not drunk after noon by real Italians. A post-dinner espresso, however, is common practice.

Dinner Rules: It is expected for guests to arrive for dinner reservations at least fifteen minutes late. In many restaurants, printed menus are for tourists. Regular patrons know to ask for the daily specials, which typically feature the freshest ingredients. Bread, when served, is rarely accompanied by butter or olive oil.

Drink the Water: Rome has plenty of public water fountains, and real Romans (and their dogs) always drink directly from them. Many people also refill their water bottle from these fountains.

Mind the Traffic: Unless there's a traffic light, or you are in a crosswalk, don't expect cars to stop for you. Though crosswalks go first, in a car – crazy city, still you’d better keep cautious and walk cautiously.

Money: Always have some euros with you. Most major hotels, restaurants, and shops take credit cards, but many smaller operations either will either be unwilling to accept them for smaller purchases or do not accept credit cards at all. ATMs are available around the city and at the airports.

About Soccer: Most Italian men are passionate about their soccer. Arm yourself with some knowledge of Italy's soccer scene, and you will find ready conversation partners almost everywhere.

The Romans: The people here love to share their thoughts, opinions and emotions. They are creative, passionate, playful, occasionally rude or vain but always entertaining, and almost always good – humored.

Car sharing is another way to drive green that’s gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas.People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事)or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing.Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非营利的)and informal car sharing services.Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one.The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spot.

         Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road.Members don’t drive just because they are in a car.They plan trips, and if they don’t need a car, they don’t use one.Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day.Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership.They usually don’t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment.So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
