My friend was taking me dumpster（垃圾桶） diving for the first time. We both needed costumes for a party so he decided to show me around a few of the city‘s finest waste baskets. After finding costume materials in the thrift shore（旧货店） dumpsters, we stopped at a grocery store. There we found a dumpster half filled with potatoes and bread. We collected bags of potatoes to share with friends and to use for cooking with Food Not Bombs (a group that shares free vegetarian food and speaks against war and poverty). I was later told that using the dumpsters could earn me the title of an urban pirate（海盗） what a great honour! My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me. I had struggled with spending money. Now I think it will prove difficult to buy anything after seeing what people throw away. Something about all those wasted resources is not right. It seems we are constantly buying more and more and throwing away perfectly usable items, while many cannot meet their basic needs. People who have never done their shopping in a dumpster believe it is dirty, dangerous, and humiliating. In reality, a diver with an old pair of jeans, a flashlight and a little mon sense (wear boots and gloves to guard against sharp objects) should not have any trouble staying safe and can feel good about being a resourceful and responsible consumer. Dumpstering is a good way to save money, labour, and lessen our environmental impact. From that dumpster tour, I had a new opinion on garbage. I found I can do something in this wasteful society. By living simply and taking what little I need from others‘ unwanted goods, I am able to begin to break the habits of wastefulness. The influence of that first urban pirate adventure created a continuing impact on my life. is the attitude of the author to the title of an urban pirate? A. Tolerant B. Proud C. Respectful D. Humiliating 61. ―My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me.‖ means ____. A. it has led to a better life for me and made me wealthier B. it has made me buy nothing later and break the habits of wastefulness C. it has changed my views and attitudes to consumers and living D. it has brought me good senses or be a responsible and a resourceful consumer 62. The main idea of the third paragraph is ____. A. only the poor goes in for dumpstering B. how to keep safe while dumpstering C. the benefit and value of dumpstering D. how to save money and lessen environmental impact 63. In the writer‘s opinion, ____. A. there are many objects to be recycled in the dumpster B. there are too many people looking down upon the divers C. the title of an urban pirate is a prejudice D. the influence of the first urban pirate adventure had an ill effect on his life C The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people – just ordinary people acting carelessness, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and mon morality that carelessness is no excuse then one‘s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence（疏忽） . Researchers have estimated（估计） that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed（归结于） to the psychological condition of the drivers. Emotional upsets can distort（歪曲）drivers‘ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear. The experts warn that it is necessary for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one‘s emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drive。
