问题              Little Tips for Law-breaking Motorists in Court
    Even a careful motorist may have the misfortune to commit a motoring (51) . In due course, (52) a summons (传票) , he will appear in a police court. In the court, the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself. The magistrate(地方法官) then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence. The officer takes the oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and (53) the truth. He also is expected to give an account (54) what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances. For instance, the offence (55) partly due to the foolishness of another motorist. It would be unwise for the accused motorist to exaggerate this. It will not help his case to try to blame (56) for his own mistake. The magistrate, (57) hearing that some other motorist is involved, will doubtless say: "What is being done about this man.9 Case coming up later this afternoon, " may (58) be the answer.
     (59) you are guilty, it is of course wise to plead guilty and apologize for committing the offence and (60) the court’s time. Magistrates are not heartless and a motorist may be lucky enough to hear one say: "There are mitigating circumstances, (61) you have broken the law and I am obliged to (62) a fine. Pay five pounds. Next case. " For many offences if you wish to plead guilty you may do so by post and avoid (63) at all.
    Some short-tempered people forget that both policemen and magistrates have a public duty to perform and are rude to them. This does not pay and rightly so! A magistrate will not let off an offender (64) because he is (65) , but the courteous (有礼貌的) lawbreakers may certainly hope that the magistrate will extend to him what tolerance the law permits.
