• 1．They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon：on foot，on mules （騾子） or by air．We chose the first．Up early，my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started．We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail．
     As we set out，I was shocked at how narrow the path was．And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us．They had heavy backpacks，water bottles，and hats．But as usual we were dressed．As the sun rose higher，Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast （烘烤） us．There was no shade and our legs were aching．We decided to go back，with the girl on my back and the boys far behind．By the time we finally got back，our legs were like jelly．
     The next day，after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast，we were ready for another view of the Canyon-by air．After our last walk，this would be the easiest thing in the world．
     We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon．But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed （翻轉(zhuǎn)） the plane around，pretending he was going to hit the ground．I shouted，"STOP!TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land，once again our legs were like jelly．We hardly spoke as we drove back．
     As I said，there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon．We never tried the mules，but personally I'd suggest a fourth：buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic．That way，you can see the Canyon，without fear or tiredness．

• 2．It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble．That's more or less what happened at the night when Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty．
     "I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville．As I got onto Highway 40，blue lights and sirens （警笛） going，I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway．The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me．He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder．"
     But Hyde couldn't go after him．Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders，so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident．But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove，hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car．As it turned out，keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult．Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to the accident scene．
     Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination．At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene．His help wasn't needed．Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird，who by this time had developed something new to panic about．
     "Just about that time，" Hyde says，"I saw fire coming out from under that car，with blue smoke and oil going everywhere．He'd blown his engine．Now he had to stop．"
     "After I arrested him，I asked him why he was running．He told me he didn't have a driver's license．"
     That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license，attempting to run away，and dangerous driving．
  
  （1）The meaning of "panicked" in Paragraph 2 is related to "

  "．
  A．shamed
  B．hated
  C．a(chǎn)ngered
  D．feared
  （2）Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway？

  
  A．Because he was racing with another driver on the road．
  B．Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene．
  C．Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him．
  D．Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder．
  （3）Which of the following statements is true？

  
  A．Someone else was taking care of the injured person．
  B．The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene．
  C．Hyde knew where he was going by following the right ear．
  D．The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40．
  （4）The driver of the Firebird

  ．
  A．took a wrong turn on the way
  B．had some trouble with his car
  C．was stopped by the police officer
  D．paid for the expenses of the accident
  （5）What is probably the best title for the article？

  B．Going My Way!
  C．Fun All the Way!
  D．Help on the Way!
