29、ceman around，and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it. much later that night，the question of why id stopped for that light came back to me. i think i stopped because its part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. its not only the law，but its an agreement we have，and

30、we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights. trust is our first inclination(倾向)doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. the whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust，not distrust. we do what we say well do；we show up when we say well show up；and we pay
