19、t at her work, the woman said to herself, while the winds blew and the waves dashed on the rocks, “I wish I could be of some use in the world. Can I not do good to someone besides myself?”At last she remembered that ships were sometimes destroyed into pieces near her house, as there was no light-hou

20、se to warn them of their danger at night.From her window she could look out on the sea. Why might she not keep a lighted lamp at the window every night in order to warn the poor sailors when their ships came near to the rocks.The woman felt glad when the idea came to her. She found that, if she work

21、ed an hour later every night, she could have enough to pay for the oil to feed the lamp. So she sat up and worked harder to buy the oil and then she lit the lamp and placed it at the window each night and in this way she saved many lives.She had been doing this for five years without reward, or the

22、hope of reward. The sailors whose lives had been saved now began to send gifts to her from far-off lands. They sent her tea from China and shawls from India, silks from France and grapes from Spain.But the poor woman didnt need these gifts to make her happy. She used to give many of them to the poor

26、 the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the worlds population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to d

27、riving on the left. Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each others right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animals left. Obviously, its safer to do this at

28、the left side of the road, and it makes sense for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon conquered(攻占) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with t

29、he right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败) by Napoleon before becoming part

30、of the British Empire. Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the r

31、eason that it made it easier to import (进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.29.
