　　I was driving to town on a beautiful summer day.The sky was full of clouds.The sun was dancing through the green trees with its golden light and I was smiling at the wonder of it.

Suddenly，a truck rounded in front of me, two feet over the center line.I pulled my wheel to the right and my tires spit(迸出) up land waste along the side of the road as I just missed the truck on one side and a ditch(沟渠) on the other.I noticed the other driver looking at his cell phone totally unaware of the near miss.I closed my mouth in order to avoid saying the words that I promised myself I would no longer use.
