5. D noticed意為“注意到”。句意:開始我也沒有特別注意他，直到每天課后他都留下來幫助我打掃教室。

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I had to stop to wait a while behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road,and I became impatient.
At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left,right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other. It's not only the law,but it is an agreement we have,and we trust each other to follow it: we don't go through red lights.
The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互的) trust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg.

You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world.① But it wasn’t always like that.
The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848,a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew.② Nowadays,other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet.
By 1890,there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum,however,is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays.③ He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired.
Although today many millions of people chew gum,not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum,they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places.
1. 請將①處翻譯成漢語。
2. 請根據②處內容完成下面句子。(每空一詞)
People make chewing gum soft and sweet something to it.
3. 把③處改為直接引語。(每空一詞)
He also said, “Chewing gum people work better and it people from feeling tired. ”
