6、yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.

8、eir lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of havi

9、ng a new driver&s license（驾照）, Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.

10、e in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn&t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, un

11、able to stop in time, ran into our car. Jane was killed immediately. I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I&ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died.

12、em to lose a child.When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy&s leg was broken.

But t

17、here are two tests that are more important than all the others.The first is called the tank test. A modern airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure（结构） of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When th

18、e plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure （压力） on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered

19、 into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover

20、 which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines （发动机） are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone.

21、It is the pilot&s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.What will happen to the plane under the tank test（） AIt will be broken. BIt will be made stronger. CIt will be filled with water. DI

Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. （26） , I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I

26、wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and （27） all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further （28） .You did not reply to that letter.
