6.As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead．At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. 　　Mr．Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads．It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely. 　　At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped．A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn't stop at the crossing." 　　"But the sign there doesn't say 'Stop'," answered Mr Williams．"It just says ‘Slow’, and 1 did go slow." 　　The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face．Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll be blowed!

In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

There is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back inyour step.Patients receiving joint implants(移植）often are able to resume many of thephysical activities they love,even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking.No wonder.then,that joint replacement is growing in popularity.

In the United States in 2007,surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implants(the joints most commonly replaced),double the number performed a decade earlier.Though these procedures have become routine,they are not failure free.

implants must sometimes be replaced,said Dr.Henrik Malchau,an orthopedic surgeon(矫形外科医生）at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.A study published in2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced withinseven and a half years.

The percentage may sound low,but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation,said Dr.Malchau.Those patients must endure additional recoveries,often painful,and increased medical expenses.

Thefailure rate should be lower,many experts agree.Sweden,for instance,has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States.Sweden also has a national jointreplacement registry,a database of information from which surgeons can learnhow andwhy certain procedures go wrongA registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whetheraspecifictype of implant is particularly problematic,"Every country that has developedaregistry has been able to reduce failure rates."

“Significantly,"said Dr.Daniel Berry,chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinicin Rochester,Minn.

A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data fromhospitals in the next 12 to 18 months.It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.2.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?（）
