Tom Atkins saw an accident between two cars last month. He is a witness(证人) in court(法庭) today. You're going to hear the first lawyer(律师), then Tom , and then the second lawyer.
1st LAWYER :Mr. Atkins, would you please tell the court what you were doing when the accident happened and what you saw?
TOM: Yes. I was driving home from work. It was about fifteen past five, and there was a blue car in front of me. We were both driving along Harbour Road when a small White Ford suddenly shot out of a side road. It shot right in front of the blue car. The driver tried to stop, but it was impossible. He ran into the White Ford.
1st LAWYER: I see. Now, how fast was the ear in front of you going when the accident happened?
TOM:The blue ear? 30 miles an hour. Certainly no more than that.
1st LAWYER: And the White Ford shot without any warning?
TOM : No.
1st LAWYER :Thank you, Mr. Atkins.
2nd LAWYER: How can you be sure the blue car was doing 30?
TOM: Because I was doing 30, and the blue ear was not going any faster than I was.
2nd LAWYER :Are you sure of that, really?
TOM: Yes, I am. Really.
2nd LAWYER :Really? How can you he so sure, Mr. Atkins? Were you looking, at your speedometer(计速表) when the accident happened?
TOM: Of course not. I was looking at the road ahead. That was how I managed to the accident.
2nd LAWYER: Well, if you weren't looking at your speedometer, how can you possibly be sure how fast you were going?
TOM: Because I never go faster than 30 on that road. It's against the law. That's why.

本文为纪实性报导,作者目击了国际重大悲剧惨案,因而思绪万千.读后会激发学生:学习兴趣,用英文了解国际事件,外国朋友的心态.
One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn't sure of that was on September 11.
I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism.
My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn't understand how something this terrible could have happened.
It wasn't until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant. Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious, to let myself get worried over small things. I've learned also that you can't take things for granted. Things change in the blind of an eye. People go to work and don't come back. One moment they're living and the next minute they're not. And, it doesn't matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can't be used up by it. You can't live by it. All you can do is just live.
