52、g serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer

53、, if he felt like it. Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a much-thought, three-page letter. Dad, a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career an

54、d the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that “l(fā)ife will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”． I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late. I cried because at 33, in

55、the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end，it was so simple：I just had to hit “Send”． We’ve since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven’t been magically solved, but getting to

When the movie was over, the crowd made for th

61、e exits. A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area. No one slipped due to the wet conditions, but someone did manage to knock over the sign. And by the time Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And s

62、hortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell. Unfortunately Ms. Brown had undergone a back operation, and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have. So she and her husband sued(提起訴訟)． AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” si

63、gn above was to warn of danger, and therefore, courts should encourage the use by not allowing Brown’s case to proceed(繼續(xù)進行). AMC referred to a case about a December, 1998 incident, where a “wet floor” sign, not in use, fell to the floor causing another trip－and－fall. In that case, Georgia’s Court o

64、f Appeals ruled in favor of the store, but didn’t go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldn’t give rise to legal liability(責任) in trip－and－fall accidents. In the Brown case, the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMC’s argument that the former case applied. But the Browns argued something su

65、rprising that the “wet floor” sign was, itself, dangerous, because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危險)．” That’s right—the safety sign, used in the way it was designed, was its

66、elf dangerous. The court thankfully didn’t accept that argument, at least not entirely. But it did conclude that Brown’s case could continue to a jury(陪審團)—“a merchant’s selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”． 【解題導語】　本文主要介紹了布朗夫人在美國一家AMC影院看完電影離開時，被“小心地滑”的指示牌絆倒受傷后，向法院提起訴訟的原因以及法院的審判結果。 5．According to the text, Ms. Brown________． A．slipped on the wet floor B．tripped over a warning sign C．knocked over a wa
