The white car hit the black car and the white car ran away quickly Mrs. James When the car accident happened, I was shopping in the store. I remember the car number of the white car. It is BD98SMR Alice I was calling my parents when the car accident happened. I was so nervous that I forgot to write down the car number. George I was walking my dog along the street when I saw it.

B Embarrassment(尴尬的事情) is just a fact of life. I had such an embarrassing moment(时刻) in Grade 9. One Friday, I got the chance to play a basketball game. Although I wasn't a very good player, we weren't playing against the best opponents(对手), either. I felt pretty good as we began to warm up. Then we gathered at the sports hall, waiting for the referee(裁判员) to call out each player. Then it was our turn and I would be the fifth. One by one, my teammates ran out. I waited. "Number 52, Murphy." "Here," I replied. I ran out quickly. Then my eyes fell on the orange and black mascot (吉祥物). As I reached out to touch it, I fell down. What made me feel embarrassed was that my team began laughing instead of helping me out. To my embarrassment, one of our opponents offered me a hand. I took it. I can't remember how I played the game that day. In the following days, I always thought of the tumble which caused my embarrassing moment. Every time I thought back to the moment, I felt much worse than last time. Today, when one of my old classmates brings it up, it doesn't hurt. In fact, the moment hurt more than now because I didn't want others to remember me for something so silly(愚蠢的). To be honest, now I'm glad it happened — it's funny and it still makes people laugh. One embarrassing moment doesn't make much difference to a person's life. Probably it can make for a good story later in life. 23．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

It was impossible for him to remember the matter clearly. Then he turned to a stone wall, but he could hardly read the shapes on it because they were carved by another person. "The ropes will be destroyed for some unknown reasons. And the shapes can only be read by a few people, "the Yellow Emperor said to Cang. "Can you come up with something better? " Cang thought over the problem for days and nights. One morning after a heavy snowfall, he saw the footprints of some different animals. These footprints helped him recognize what animals passed by. Cang suddenly had an idea. He drew a tiger and a bear on the snow-covered ground. But soon, he found that this took too much time. He realized that he had to make the drawings easier. All the shapes on the stone walls came into his mind. Cang kept making all kinds of shapes on the ground. He paid attention to drawing. To show the sun, for example, he used a circle with a dot in the middle. A half circle and a vertical line(垂直线)made up the moon. And three lines that are not straight were used to show water. These symbols shone brightly in the snow. In the end, Cang created a whole set of symbols to help people remember things. People could easily understand these symbols. Since then, they have been able to write down their own history in this way. 27．Why couldn't Cang Jie remember the event clearly? A．Because he couldn't record things by tying knots in ropes.
