(40 points)Text 1The Truth Can Set You FreeI recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia. I hadnt been paying attention，and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him，and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania drivers license.“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”“No, Im not,” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadnt had time to reregister yet.“So what brings you here?”He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “since youve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. Weve moved down here to be close to my wifes family.”“So youve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.” He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat lie on me, or hes telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors (肿瘤) are on the inside. ”And then, I dont know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasnt taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor,” he said, “Slow down from now on.”The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen.1、The author was stopped by the police officer because .Ahe didnt have a licenseBhe forgot to re-registerChe was seriously illDhe drove too fast2、The author moved to Virginia probably because .Ahe was homesickBhe served in the army
