Thoughts on Shenzhen Airport Traffic Accident
March 1 was a very sad day for everyone.
On that day a huge traffic accident happened at the Shenzhen Airport. Nine people lost their lives and 23 people were injured. For those people, it was a night- mare!
To learn a lesson, we must know who caused the accident and why.
The answer looks obvious. It’s the car owner’s fault because she drove her car into the people. However, is that true? Is that her fault? What about the dead and injured people? Did they have their own faults as well? The answer is yes.
According to news reports, at that time, many people were standing in the turning section of the viaduct watching the airplanes take off and land. Suddenly, a car appeared. Maybe the car owner got nervous, so she mistakenly stamped on the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, which caused the accident.
In my opinion, of course the driver should be blamed because she caused the accident. However, for those dead and injured people, although we feel sorry for them, they have their own responsibilities as well. They should have been aware of their own safety. They shouldn’t have been standing in a dangerous place to watch the airplanes take off and land.The accident happened on__________.
| A．March 1 | B．March 2 | C．March 3 | D．March 5 |
How many people died in this accident?

In the days following the first anniversary(周年纪念) of my dad ’s death, I felt sad. I still missed him so much. I would walk over to his old house where my daughter now live and still expect to see him sitting out on his front porch(走廊). I would see him in my dreams, looking young and strong again.
I felt bad too because I regretted not spending more time with him while he was here. I wished I had visited him more, talked with him more, and listened to him more. I wished I had asked the questions that I never did. I wished I had given him more hugs and told him I loved him more often. I wished I had cherished the time I had with him here. I was angry at the destiny(命运) because Dad and Mum had both passed away before I was 50, and I was angry with myself because I hadn’t made the most of time I had with them.
Today, I found myself walking under a cloudy sky, staring at the leafless trees. As I walked along, one of the last golden maple leaves fell from its tree and sailed in the wind until it landed in front of me. I picked it up and smiled. At the moment of peace I felt a sound in my heart and mind: “death is momentary(瞬间的), but love is eternal(永久的).” I knew at that moment that my relationships with Mum and Dad were not over. We would see each other again in a place of love, joy and light. We would spend our days in learning, laughter and love.What is the main idea of this passage?
