　　It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.

　　It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.

　　"I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens　going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder. "

　　But Hyde couldn't go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.

　　Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.

　　"Just about that time, "Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He'd blown his engine. Now he had to stop. "

　　"After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver's license(执照). "

　　That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.

　　71. The meaning of "panicked"in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.

　　A. shame B. hate C. anger D. fear

　　72. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?

　　A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.

　　B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.

　　C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.

　　D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.

　　73. Which of the following statements is true?

　　A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.

　　B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.

　　C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.

　　D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.

　　74. The driver of the Firebird ______.

　　A. took a wrong turn on the way

　　B. had some trouble with his car

　　C. was stopped by the police officer

　　D. paid for the expenses of the accident

　　75. What is probably the best title for the article?

　　A. Losing His Way? B. Going My Way? C. Fun All the Way? D. Help on the Way?
