One night recently , I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour . A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed . As we passed each other , I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second . I wondered whether he might be thinking , as I was , how dependent we were on each other at that moment . I was relying on him not to fall asleep , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end . Though we had never spoken a word to each other , he relied on me in just the same way .
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works . At some level , we all depend upon one another . Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line . And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively , with friends or even with strangers .
As technology shrinks our world , the need increases for cooperative action among nations . In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus , which saved thousands of lives . The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world . We must recognize that our fates (命运) are not ours alone to control .
In my own life , I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility . But , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others . so , while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road , what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat , but a shared moment of trust .

(答案→)D 解析：文讲述了在现实生活中，我们是相互依存，相互依靠，我们的命运收到别人的影响。【小题1】D 推理题。根据文章最后两行what we must learn with experience is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.说明作者认为彼此信任很重要，D正确。【小题2】C 推理题。根据第一段3,4,5行I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be distracted (分心) by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end.说明如果另外一个司机分心了，会死掉。故C正确。【小题3】B 推理题。根据第二段第一行Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works.说明他是从多次的经历中得到的结论，故B正确。【小题4】A 推理题。根据第二段At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line.说明我们要相互依靠，我们的命运并没有被掌握在我们的手里，也受别人的影响，故A正确。【小题5】D 推理题。根据最后一段1,2行In my own life, I used to put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others.说明我现在的想法与以前已经有了变化。故D正确。
