Mrs. Jones was
over eighty, but she still drove her old car like
a woman half her age.
She
loved
driving
very
fast,
and
was
proud
of
the
fact
1
she
had
never,
in
her
thirty-
five
years of driving, been punished
2
a driving offence
(
犯规,犯法
).
Then one
day she nearly
3
her record. A police car
4
her, and the policemen in it
saw her
5
a red light without stopping. Of
course, she was stopped. It seemed
6
that
she would be punished.
7
Mrs. Jones came up to the judge, he
looked at her seriously and said that she
was
8
old to drive a car, and that the
9
why she had not stopped at
the red
10
was
most probably that her eyes had become
weak
11
old age, so
that she had simply not seen
it.
When the judge had finished what he was
12, Mrs. Jones opened the
big handbag she
was
13
and
took
out
her
sewing.
Without
saying
a
word,
she
14
a
needle
with
a
very
small
eye, and threaded it at her first
attempt.
When she had
15
done this, she took the thread out of
the needle again and
handed
16
the needle and the thread to the judge,
saying,
“
Now it is your
17. I suppose
you drive a car, and that you are quite
sure about your own
eyesight.
”
The
judge took the
18
and tried to thread it. After half a
dozen tries, he had still
not
succeeded. The case (

against Mrs. Jones was
19,
and her record

When Dave was eighteen, he bought a
secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to
and from work more__1__ than by bus. It
worked quite well for a few years, but then it got
so old, and it was costing him _2_much
in repairs that he decided that he had better
_3_it.
He asked among his friends to
see if anyone was particularly_ 4_ to buy a cheap
car,
but they all knew that it was
falling to pieces, so_5_ of them had any desire to
buy it.
Dave's
friend
Sam
saw
that
he
was
_6_
when
they
met
one
evening,
and
said,
“
What's
_7_,
Dave?
”
Dave told him, and Sam answered,
“
Well, what about
advertising it in the paper? You may
_8_more for it that way than the cost
of the advertisement!
”
Thinking that Sam's_9_was
sensible(
合理的
),he
put an advertisement in an evening paper, which
read
“
For sale: small
car, _10_ very little petrol, only two
owners. Bargain at 50.
”
For two days after the advertisement
first appeared, there was no _11_.But then on
Saturday evening he had an
enquiry(
询问
).A man rang up
and said he would like to_12_ him
about
the car.
“
All
right,
”
Dave said, feeling
happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock
the next morning would be_13_or not.
p>
“
Fine,
”
the man said,
“
and I'll
_14_my wife. We intend
to go for a ride
in it to _15_ it.
”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten,
Dave parked the car in the square outside his
front door, _16_ to wait there for the
people who had_17_ his advertisement. Even Dave
had
to _18_that the car really looked
like a wreck(
残骸
).Then, soon
after he had got the car
as clean_19_
it could be, a police car stopped just behind him
and a policeman got out. He
looked at
Dave's car and then said,
“

The word
“
plastic
”
comes from the Greek word
“
Platicos
”
and is used to describe_1_which
can be easily shaped.
The history of plastics is longer than
you might_2_.In fact _3_ manmade plastics ever
to appear on the market was made over a
hundred years ago. It was called
“
celluloid(
赛璐
璐
)
”
.It was discovered by
both an Englishman and an American in the same
year._4_it was the
Americans who first
produced it on a large scale during the year ody
was _5_by
this new material which could
be moulded (
用模子做
) into
shapes and _6_so cheap to buy.
Poor
young men _7_in cities with lots of smoke and dirt
were_8_ to buy white celluloid
collars(
领子
).The
collars were hard and uncomfortable. But they did
not have to be sent to
wash.
The
poor
young
men
_9_
rub
them
clean
every
evening
with
soap
and
water!
Poor
mothers,
_10_ had not been
able to afford playthings _11_their children, were
now able to buy
资料
them
playthings _12_
of
celluloid. But celluloid
had one very serious fault. It
caught
fire
very
easily.
In
fact
it
burned
even
more
quickly
than
wood
or
cloth.
There
were
many
terrible
accidents,
particularly _13_ children. For years scientists
worked hard to find a better
plastic
material than celluloid. They had _14_ success.
Then in 1932 an American scientist
called
Baekeland
produced
a
hard
plastic
material
which
did
not
burn.
_15_
became
known
_16_
bakeli
te(
酚醛塑料
).Other plastic
materials like bakelite were _17_ produced. They

make
electrical
fittings and plates
and
cups. Poor people liked
them
because they were both
cheap and safe,
but rich people _19_ them because they were cheap,
and because they could
only be made
