Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast, and was
21 of the fact that she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished
22 a driving offence (犯规).
Then one day she nearly
23 her record. A police car
24 her, and the policemen in it saw her
25 a red light without stopping. Of course, she was stopped. It seemed
26 that she would be punished.
When Mrs. Jones came up to the judge（法官）, he looked at her seriously and said that she was
27 old to drive a car, and that the reason why she had not stopped at the red
28 was most probably that her eyes had become weak
29 old age, so that she had not seen it.
When the judge had finished what he was
30 . Mrs. Jones opened the big handbag she was
31 and took out her sewing (针线). Without saying a word, she
32 a needle(针) with a very small eye, and threaded it at once.
When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed
33 the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now it is your
34 . I suppose you drive a car, and that you are quite sure about your own eyesight.”
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After half a dozen tries, he had still not succeeded. Mrs. Jones’ record
35 unbroken.
