完形填空。
One night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of eighty miles. I was late so I drove
very
1 . Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was shouting and
2 the steering wheel（方向盘）with impatience.
At one point along an open highway , I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road,
but as I got
3 the light, it turned red and I stopped. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,
no
4 of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile
in any
5 .
I started wondering why I refused to run the red light. There was obviously no policeman around, and it
certainly would not have been
6 in going through it.
Later that night, after I had climbed into bed, the question of why I stopped for that light
7 back to me.
I did so because it's part of a contract (协议) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but an
agreement we have, and we trust each other to
8 it.
It's
9 that we ever trust each other to do the right things. It's a good thing because the whole structure
of our society depends on trust. This whole thing we have going for us would fall apart if we didn't trust each
other most of the time. We do
10 we say we'll do; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other
in these matters, and when we don't do what we've
11 , others will be angry or disappointed with us because
we violate(亵渎) the
12 they have in us. I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night!
