[单项选择]Two weeks ago I had to go to the train station because I was taking a trip to Boston. I decided to take a taxi to the station. There is a bus to the station, but I had a lot of luggage and was in a hurry, so I chose a taxi.
I heard the horn(喇叭)of the taxi and hurried out of the house. Excited about my trip, I told the taxi driver I was in a hurry because I had a ticket for a train in only 20 minutes. But I soon began to worry as we hurried through the crowded streets. He drove too fast! We drove across the intersections(十字路口)without stopping for the red lights. We did not stay in our lane, but drove down the middle of the streets. As we turned at the corners, the fast movement of the taxi pushed me into its door. In ten minutes we reached the train station, but I never want to hurry that much again.

A. Right.
B. Wrong.
C. Doesn’t say.

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening. it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opp
