完形填空
Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a  1  of about eighty miles. It was late and I
was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was  2  , I'd say I was
not overspeeding. Several times I got  3  behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was
holding my fists tightly with  4  .
At one point along an open highway, I  5  a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road
by now, but as I  6  the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me.
Nothing. No cars, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to  7  , the only human being for at least a mile  in any  8  .
I started  9  why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being  10  ,  because there was
obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no  11  in going through it.
Much later that night, after I  12  a group of friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight,

wetrust each other to  15  it: we don't go through red lights. Like most of us, I am more likely to be
  16  from doing something bad by the social convention(传统习惯) that  17  it than by any law against
it.
It's amazing that we ever  18  each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our
 19  preference.
I was so  20  of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
