    Driving Offence Points System

    　　What is the Driving Offence Points System?

    　　After the introduction of this system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishment．If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded．When the driver gets a certain number of points, he will be forbidden to drive for a certain amount of time．

    　　What are the purposes of this system?

    　　This is a system designed to make roads much safer．It can improve standards of driving and reduce the accident rates．

    　　Which traffic offences will result in Driving Offence Points?

    　　Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system．Only those that have direct effect on road safety are included．There are altogether fourteen items．

    　　What will happen if you have got up to 10 points?

    　　If you have got 10 points or above, but still less than 15 points, you will receive a warning letter from the Transport Department．This letter will tell you your record of Driving Offence Points and remind you of the result of getting more points．It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behavior for the better．

    　　What will happen if you have got 15 points?

    　　If you have got 15 points or more within two years, a court will take away your driving license．The first time you are found guilty you will not be able to drive for three months, but if you are caught a second time, you will not be able to drive for six months．

    A
    One evening a police officer was driving slowly along a road. He was off duty and was wearing plain clothes.
    Suddenly he saw two men running out of a building. He heard someone shouting, “Help! Help! Stop thief!” The police officer was sure that the two men were thieves. He knew he must arrest them. However, he was not only out of uniform (制服) but also unarmed (没有带枪). He knew if he got out of his car and tried to arrest them, at least one of the men would easily escape. The police officer was facing a difficult problem. He knew that he mustn’t let the men escape, but how could he arrest them?
    He thought quickly and had an idea. It involved danger and it might not work, but he decided to try.
    He drove his car up to the men and stopped beside them. Then he put his head out of the window and asked, “Do you want a lift?”
    “Yes, yes,” the men answered, and quickly got into his car. “Please take us to the railway station,” they told him.
    “Very good,” the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out, “But this isn’t the way to the railway station. Where are you going?” “I must go this way,” the police officer explained. “There’s a big fire and the traffic is held up. You don’t want to sit in a traffic jam, do you?”
    “No, no,” the men agreed. “Please take us the quickest way.”
    The next moment, the police officer had pulled up at the police station. He jumped out, shouted for help, and seconds later the two thieves were arrested.
    61. How did the police officer decide to try to arrest the two thieves?
    A. By telephoning the police for help.
    B. By letting them get into his car.
    C. By going back to the police station for his gun.
    D. By asking people around to help him.
    62. The underlined word “involved” means “        ”.
    A. developed         B. offered         C. stopped        D. caused
    63. Why did the police officer tell the two thieves to get into his car instead of going to catch them directly?
    A. He was afraid he would be beaten by them.
    B. He was afraid they would recognize him.
    C. He was afraid one of them would escape.
    D. He was afraid they would not escape.
    64. Soon after the two thieves got into the car they found out that ________.
    A. they were not on the way to the railway station
    B. the police officer was taking them to the police station
    C. they were on the way to the airport

          Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to
    work, to school or to friends' houses.
          Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a
    driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other
    direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that
    driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.
         Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people
    are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of
    Japan.
          To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive,
    learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!
