Margaret Mitchell, a writer, is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’
And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture. 4. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.

C
Last night, I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburgt, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握)my fists with impatience.
At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrested，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency(趋势). We have to make a deliberate(有意的)decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious (怀疑的) or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.
It's a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual(相互的) trust, not distrust. We do when we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up；we deliver when we say we'll deliver；and we pay when we say we'11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's far from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or
disappointed with those badly-behaved people. Anyway I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
7．Why did the author feel impatient while driving? A.Because he had already driven for a long time. B.Because it was too far away from his destination. C.Because something urgent happened in his family. D.Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road. 8．The author stopped at the traffic light because__________. A.there were passers-by crossing the road B.some policemen were on duty just at that point C.the trust between people influenced the author D.there was potential danger
9．What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases? A.All the things would run normally.
B.The social system would be thrown into disorder. C.The social traditions would be abandoned. D.Strict rules and laws would be made. 10．What is the main idea of the passage? A.Mutual Trust is the best policy. B.A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.Among the blind the one-eyed is the king. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
