听力原文: Alan Tong was the worst driver in town. He had an accident of some kind almost every week. Every day his mother worried that the police would turn up to arrest him. [32] This wasn't a foolish worry because they usually called on the Tong household about once a week to deliver a speeding ticket or to serve him notice to appear in court. [33] Most of his accidents were caused by his carelessness. He drove through red lights. He turned right without signaling. [34] In short, there wasn't a traffic regulation Alan had not broken. But luckily, he had never hurt anyone or even gone to the hospital.
Although Alan wasn't popular with the police, he was very popular with his lawyer, Mr. Tsui, who had earned a lot of money from Alan's cases.
One day Alan was working in the garage spray painting his ear when his mother walked in. "Why are you painting one side of the car red and the other side blue?"
"Because every time I have to go to court for a traffic offense, there are always two witnesses. ' What color was the car? ' the prosecutor always asks, and the two witnesses always give the same answer. [35] Well, in the future, one witness will say it was red and the other will say it was blue. Mr. Tsui will then say to the judge, 'Your honor, the witnesses cannot even agree on the color of the ear involved in the accident. ' And the judge will have to dismiss the case against me. "
