One Sunday evening, it was quite dark when old Stanley went for his walk. He was walking along the sidewalk. Suddenly, he saw a white car coming the corner at high speed. It was going too fast and crashed into a red car in the street where he was walking. He rushed up to the cars to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.
The two drivers were arguing.
"You came around the corner too fast, " one man said.
"No！" said the driver of the white car, "That's not true! Your car was parked in a wrong place. "
Stanley listened to their argument and then said the white car driver was wrong to drive too fast. The driver of the red car asked Stanley to prove he was right in court (法庭). Stanley gave the driver his name and telephone number.
Next Thursday morning. Stanley was asked to go to the court. The lawyer(律师) for the driver of the white car asked him a lot of questions about what he had seen. Then he asked Stanley how old he was.
"I'm eighty-two, " answered Stanley.
"Do you usually wear glasses？" asked the lawyer.
"Yes, I do, " answered Stanley.
"Were you wearing them on the night of the accident？" the lawyer asked.
"No, " replied Stanley.
Then the lawyer said, "Why should the court believe you? You are eighty-two years old, you were not wearing your glasses, and it was dark. How far can you see in the dark？"
Stanley thought about it for a minute. "Well, " he said, "when it is dark, I can see the moon. How far is that？"
Shark nets in place across Australia, specifically in New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland, to protect beachgoers should be dropped as they have caused more harm than good, a study has found.
The measures were carried out by some governments, including nets and traditional drum lines, and provided beachgoers with a false sense of safety. The study found the effectiveness of nets was difficult to evaluate, while the significant damage they cause to other marine wildlife was clear. Researchers desire for nondeadly shark control measures such as eco-barriers, which physically separate swimmers from sharks, sonar(声呐) technology, and various shark-spotting techniques.
Researchers said while the risk of coming across a shark was rare, any shark-related deaths and injuries caught huge public and media attention.
One of the arguments in support of using shark nets is that just one shark-related death has been reported in Queensland since the 1960s. Similarly, since the 1930s, NSW has had only one shark-related death. But there have been at least 13 people killed by sharks at beaches without nets on the NSW north coast over the past two years.
The Humane Society International's head of campaigns, Nicola Beynon, said the government needed to move away from outdated methods. "Deadly shark nets and drum lines are more than 50 years behind scientific and animal welfare standards for dealing with marine wildlife, " said Beynon.
The NSW Greens' marine spokesman, Justin Field, said, "People are 100 times more likely to drown at the beach than to be killed by a shark in Australia. Therefore, millions of dollars going into the shark net program should be directed to observation towers for our lifeguards and improving the beach devices. "
