Mrs Jones was over eighty,but she still drove her old car like a young woman.She loved driving very fast,and she said that she had never been punished for a driving offence(违章).
Then one day,she nearly lost her record.A police car followed her,and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping.
When Mrs Jones came before the policeman,he looked at her seriously and said that she was too old to drive a car,and that her eyes had probably become weak with old age,so she had not stopped at the red light.
After the policeman finished his words,Mrs Jones,without saying a word,opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing(针线活).She showed a needle(针)with a very small eye,and threaded(穿线)it at her first try.
When she had successfully done this,she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the policeman,saying,“Now it is your turn.You drive a car and you must see clearly.”
The policeman took the needle and tried to tread it.After trying for six times,he still didn't succeed,so Mrs Jones wasn't punished.Her record remained unbroken.
