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.

Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs , teachers find students’ posture(姿势) and attention improve.

Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey(调查) of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.

The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan,” says Witt, “ Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter（直的）. You can slouch(低头垂肩地坐)on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels bad.” Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen( 氧气) to the brain , so the kids have more energy and can pay attention longer.

“Besides, they’re fun.” says Pownall.
