Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a 36 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was 37 ,I’d say I was not over-speeding. Several times I got 38 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with 39 .
At one point along an open highway, I 40 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I 41 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 42 , the only human being for at least a mile in any 43 .
I started 44 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being 45 , because there was obviously no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no 46 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I 47 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I’d stopped for that light 48 me, I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract(合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the 49 , but it’s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to 50 it: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more likely to be 51 from doing something bad by the social convention that 52 it than by any law against it.
It’s amazing that we ever 53 each other to do the right thing, isn’t it? And we do, too, Trust is our 54 preference.
I was so 55 of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
