The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It _______me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a_______to go faster. I also can’t understand why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those______situations in which someone doesn’t even______that the light turns red, and just keeps going. That is why so many_______happen! All these situations make me _______the purpose of traffic lights.   

______, it’s even more frightening to imagine letting people make their own decisions at     ______crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next?

It occurs to me that my________have done much the same for me________teaching me how to live.

And there________have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to_________school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these rules, my life will be as________as it can be. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking across the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the“_______signals” given to me by my parents.

I was taking a nap(小睡)when a loud noise woke me. Outside the window in a parking lot, a car had just backed up into a chain-link fence. The fence bent out in exactly the________of the car’s back end.
