Mrs. Taylor was over eighty, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast and boasted of the fact that she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished for a driving offence.
Then one day she nearly lost her record. A police car followed her, and the policemen in it saw her pass a red light without stopping.
When Mrs. Taylor came before the judge, he looked at her severely and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it.
When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs. Taylor opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt.
When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, "Now, it’s your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that you have no doubts about your eyesight. "
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After half a dozen attempts, he still had not succeeded. The case against Mrs. Taylor was dismissed and her record remained unbroken.
Questions 11 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. According to the judge, why didn’t Mrs. Taylor stop at the red light?
12. How did Mrs. Taylor prove that the judge was wrong?

A、Because she wanted to break her record.
B、Because she couldn’t tell red from green.
C、Because her eyes had become weak with old age.
