Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get thathoney is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in
trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking forhoney have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitablenest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention ofboth passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting fromtime to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive atthe nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction. I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract (契约) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination (倾向). Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互) trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. 1.A. He was lonely on the road. B. He was slowed down by a truck. C. He got tired of driving too long. D. He came across too many traffic lights.
2. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red? A. Stopping still. B. Driving through it.
C. Looking around for other cars. D. Checking out for traffic police.
65. The event made the author strongly believe that ________. A. traffic rules may be unnecessary B. doubting others is human nature C. patience is important to drivers D. a society needs mutual trust 3. Why was the author proud of himself? A. He kept his promise. B. He held back his anger. C. He followed his inclination. D. He made a right decision.
