Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a 36 of about eight miles．It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly 37 .
At one point along an open road, I came to a 38 with a traffic light. I was 39 on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I 40 a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no 41 of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 42 , the only human being for at least a mile 43 any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to 44 the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was 45 no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going 46 it.
Much later that night, the 47 why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I
stopped because it's part of a contract that we all have with each other. It is not only the law, but it is an
48 we have, and we trust each other to 49 it: we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(倾向). Doubting others does not seem to be 50 to us. The whole construction of our society depends on 51 , not distrust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up
52 we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters,
53 we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that 54 the trust we have in them.
I was so 55 myself for stopping for the red light that night.

If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonnet and say, “Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile．The title suits him．And he loves it．
      Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.
      “I knew it had hurry my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”
      One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.
      “I saw the sign ‘Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls. “Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass(放大镜), ‘Look at the leaves. ‘I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”
      Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
      The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
      For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.

“How’s the basketball coming on?”
I put down my drink and looked across at the next table. Both the man and the woman were at least
65. I was curious—pensioners, as far as I know, don’t play a lot of basketball.
"Oh, I'm not playing much basketball these days," the woman replied. "But I'm getting much better at golf - did a round in two under par last night."
Last night? What's this, I thought - a floodlit golf course? I opened my packet of crisps, thoughtfully. "I'm still pretty hopeless at chess, I'm afraid," the man said. "It beat me on level one this morning."
The penny dropped. These two were obviously the proud owners of video games.
It's very likely that one of the consequences of the development of the silicon chip will be that a lot of people will have a lot more leisure time. It's equally likely that the chip will have a dramatic effect on how we spend that leisure time. It already has. Space invader machines are now a familiar sight in pubs, coffee bars, takeaway restaurants—even police stations. A lot of people play them, and some, particularly schoolchildren, get remarkably high scores. How, one wonders, do they find the time (and money) to become so good?
If you have your own home video set, the possibilities are endless. You can play football, tennis, golf, basketball, tenpin bowling and other active sports without stepping out of your living room. Without even moving.
You can become an expert at chess or backgammon without ever playing another human being. Indeed, human beings aren't needed at all: there is already an annual computer chess championship —computer against computer.
So, what of the future? Will we see gangs of schoolchildren robbing old ladies for the money to feed space invader machines? Will football grounds lie empty as f
