I have three kids and a great husband and I’m enjoying a career that I find challenging and fun．To the outside world，this feels like“Success．”But there is still a voice in my heart asking if this is who I truly am．Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be．
So I booked a trip to find out．I travelled，for the first time，without my husband or kids．I went to Iceland with a friend，who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence．
For six days，we were immersed(沉浸)in wild，raw scenery and real weather—a11 kinds of weather．Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little you actually need．And how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes．
I found silence in Iceland，and time to consider the me outside of career and the me out—side of kids as I shared stories with strangers．
When I stopped talking and just 1istened，I became more generous．I 1earned that choosing to be generous can create more space，more food and more warmth．
But I didn’t really gain any better appreciation of what I want from life or my job．I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy，and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family．
I came home to noise，rush and love；with no less confusion on who I want to be． I know the answer isn’t waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland．The answer is in front of me with every step on my own 1ife’s path，and in every choice I make．

In America，the number of people killed in car crashes in 2016 was above 40，000 for the first time in a decade，data released on Wednesday shows．
“Americans believe there is nothing we can do to stop crashes from happening，but that isn't true．We are behind the rest of the developed world in addressing highway fatalities(死亡)．We just haven't been willing to do what needs to be done，”said Deborah A．P．Hersman，president of the National Safety Council．
The National Safety Council data shows a 6 percent increase in deaths in 2018 when compared with 2015 and a 3 percent increase in the number of miles Americana drove in 2016．
“Motor vehicle fatality numbers have been ringing the alarm for two years，”Hersman said．“Unfortunately，we have been blind to the data and the killings on our roadways．If we fail to take action，the death tell will continue to rise．” “The trend is clear：After years of progress，highway deaths are heading in the wrong direction，”said Jonathan Adkins，a state safety official．
The number of people killed reached a record low of 32，675 in 2014，according to NHTSA statistics．That record followed a fairly steady downward track for the past six years that experts attributed it primarily to safety features that have been built into cars and trucks．
Safety advances including increased seat-belt use，air bags，anti-lock braking，stability controls and electronic warnings and cameras．
The bad economy and high gas prices also influenced the reduction in deaths．Now，with unemployment and gas prices both low，more people are driving for work and pleasure trips．
“It’s not just that Americans drive more miles when the economy improves ；it’s the kind of miles they drive，”said Adrian Lund，president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety． 58．What’s Hersman’s attitude towards the present situation? A．It has been getting better． C．The efforts are far from enough．
B．It can hardly be improved． D．Much work hart already been done．

B．The gas price will go down． D．There will be fewer highway deaths．
61．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Traffic Deaths Are on the Rise
