Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.I heard the noise first. A car, obviously out of control, was running straight towardme and my four-year-old son as we stood on the sidewalk waiting to cross the street.There was no time to do anything; it all happened in a second.The vision of that big black car hitting the sidewalk a few feet from us will never beerased from my memory. I don't know how close the car came to us, because I turnedaway at the last second, but it was close. People stopped their cars and asked if we wereokay."It didn't hit us," I remember saying. Then I bent down and hugged my son."Mom, that car nearly hit us," Scott said brightly, still holding theconstruction-paper cat he'd made at school. He has no idea what a ton of metal going 50m.p.h, can do to 39 pounds of a little boy. Much of his world view comes from cartoons,especially Spider-Man, who he believes can fly down to help anyone out of danger.I found myself walking to the car. A woman of about 60 sat inside, still holding thesteering wheel. "Are you all right. I asked her. Translation: Did you just have a heartattack? Why did you just try to kill me and my little boy?"Someone cut me off,"she started, lnterrupting her, I said we'd both better say ourprayers that night. I didn't begin to get angry until later.The woman who nearly killed us was in.a hurry. Very likely she was speeding tomake the next traffic light at the crossroads. The driver she said cut her off was probablyin a hurry, too, trying to turn into traffic.Nor am I blameless. We had stopped on the sidewalk because I wanted to shave twominutes off my busy day by running across the street rather than walking the half blockto the light at the crossroads. Instead, I nearly shaved off two lives.Just a week before, !. had returned from a trip to Japan, flying almost 60,000 milesin six different planes. They. makes six takeoffs and landings, 12 opportunities be thetop story on the nightly news. To think I'd survived 16,000 miles of air flight, only to bealmost killed three blocks from home.Today I resolve to slow down and think about the spring, the flowers and ourchildren our innocents, our contracts with the future.
