In 1980，Candy Lightner’s 13-year-old daughter Cad was killed by a drunk driver as she walked down a suburban street in California．“I promised myself on the day of my daughter’s death that I would fight to make this needless accident count for something positive in the years ahead，”Candy Lightener later wrote． The drunk driver received a two-year prison sentence．However，he avoided prison by serving time in a work camp and a halfway house．Ms．Lightner was very angry about that and so organized Mothers Against Drunk Drivers(MADD)，which later changed to Mothers Against Drunk Driving．The aim of her organization was to raise public awareness of the serious nature of drunk driving and to promote tough legislation against the crime．
Before Ms．Lightner’s MADD，intoxication(醉酒)，including drunk driving, was not taken seriously．Intoxication was often used as an excuse for otherwise unacceptable behavior：“I didn’t know what I was doing—I was drunk．”
Candy Lightner appeared on major television shows，spoke before the US Congress，addressed professional and business groups，and worked tirelessly for years to change public attitudes，change judicial(审判的)behaviour，and promote tough new legislation．Ms．Lightner left MADD because the organization that she herself created is changing its focus．“I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcoho1．I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving．”

My primary education was done through online education，which meant I didn’t often come into contact with large groups of people of my age．Not having a peer group of my age also meant that I never had to do things to behave in the same way as others，and I grew up doing things the way I wanted． I was very naive(天真)when I started high schoo1．On the first day I didn’t realize there was a right way to wear a school hat．In fact，on that first day I did a lot of things wrong—like being the only person in the school who had a tongue ring．That ring made me considered a troublemaker，and by the first break I was given life membership to the“out” crowd. So I put my hair into my hat and took out the tongue ring． It seemed more important to be like others than finding out what it meant to be me．I spent all my energy trying to conform．I couldn’t work out why I was so unhappy when I'd achieved what I thought I wanted．
After many tears and sleepless nights，my teacher took me aside and asked why I was upset．I told him though I tried to fit in at school，I still felt unhappy．He asked me why I cut my hair off，and I told him that I wanted the same kind of hairstyle that the other girls had．
He said，“You’ve started doing things to please other people．If you don’t do it for yourself，you will always feel upset．If the people at school don’t like you for who you are，then it’s their problem．”What he said was true．I started trying to do things for myself．After that I felt a lot better． 46．The author always did things as she liked when young because____． A．she was educated that way．

One Halloween，a little boy and his friend went out for a fun night of trick—or—treat．At first everything was great．They were getting lots of candy as they went from house to house，but then they saw a house which they hadn’t been to before．It was a very spooky (阴森森的)house Being young and brave，they decided to go up to the door and knock．After all，scary houses might have the best candy!
As they walked up the long winding path，they saw things that chilled(使恐惧)them to the bone! They heard sounds that frightened them．Maybe they should turn back．But the little boys，being very brave，just wanted to see what was in that house，so they went on，not deterred by the things they heard or saw．As they slowly made their way up to the door，they imagined what might be inside．Maybe it would be a witch or maybe a ghost!
