The key to happin,ess is how quickly you can get back your focus on, what's important． Anonymous Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi carb．Here's what happened．I hopped in a taxi, and we took ogfor Grand Central Station．We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden,a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us． My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy．And I mean, he was friendly．So,I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!“And this is when my taxi dniver told me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck．” Many people are like garbage（rubbish） trucks．They run around full of garbage, full of frus- tration, full of anger, and full of disappointment．As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it．And if you let them, they'll dump it on you．When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally．You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on* You'll be happy with what you did． I started thinking, how often do I let Garb4ge Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was that day I said: "I'm not going to do anymore．" Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day．What about you? If you let more garbage trucks pass you by, you'll be happier．Life's too short to wake up in the moming with regrets．So, Love the people who treat you right．Forget about the ones who don't． 1.What happened one day when the author was taking a taxi? A．The taxi almost hit another car． B．The taxi driver WtLS injured． C．The author scolded the driver of the other car． D．The author leamed a lesson from the driver of the garbage truck． 2.How did the taxi driver respond to the behaviour of the driver of the black car? A．He yelled back at the driver． B．He sent the driver to the hospital． C．He was friendly towards the driver． D．He dumped some garbage in front of his car． 3.What does the taxi driver think of people according to Paragraph 3? A．Many people like to drive garbage trucks． B．Many people dump garbage wherever they like． C．Many people are warm-hearted to make others happy． D．Many people tend to be very much depressed． 4.What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A．The author used to have a lot of garbage trucks． B．The author used to complain a lot． C．The author used to have a lot of money． D．The author used to be a good manager． 5.According to the passage, what should you do if people "dump garbage" on you?

A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office．The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed to focus on the teach- er, not his cellphone．The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr．Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap．He was texting while being scolded for texting．"It was a subconscious act," says Mr．Gallagher, who took the phone away．"Young people today are con-nected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the moming until they close their eyes at night．It's compulsive．" A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga．, found that the more time young people spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits．Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable, but they are alsomore likely to be anxious, hostile or depressed． Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families．Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers cometo see texting and 'social-network checking' as accepted parts of the workday? Think bac．k．Whentoday's older workers were in their 20s, they might have taken a break on the job to call friends andmake after-work plans．In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired．It was impossible to imagine the con-stant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today．Educators are alsobeing asked by parents, students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules．"In past gen-erations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class．Now students are good at texting withtheir phones stiU in their pockets," says 40-year-old Mr．Gallagher, the vice principal, ”and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over．Students are just fun-amentally different today．They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones．" 1.The underlined word“a subconscious act" in the first paragraph refers to an act A．on purpose B．without realization C．in secret D．with care 2.Young people addicted to the use of Facebook ． A．are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study B．have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work C．have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits D．are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect 3.Through the situation of today's older workers in their 20s, it can be inferred that ． A．the employers will not accept young people's sending text messages B．a cellphone is a must for today's older workers instead of young people C．the employers prefer older workers to young people D．the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people 4.Mr．Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and ．those today ． A．like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages B．are alwa）-s the big problem for the educators and their parents C．like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way D．cannot live without a ceUphone 5.What's the best title of the passage? A．Teenagers and CeLl．Phones B．Teenagers' Texting Addiction C．Employers and Teenagers D．Teenagers' Education

Taste is suc．h a subjective matter that we dori't usually conduct preference tests for food．The most you can say about anyone's preference is that it's one person's opinion．But because the two bigcola companies-Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola-are marketed so aggressively, we've wondered how big arole taste-preference actually plays in brand loyalty．We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting． We inwited staff wolunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke．or Diet Pepsi．These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the oLher brancl． We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers．Then we fed them with four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other．rOVe asked them to tell us whether each sample wa．s Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices \~-ith what mere guesswork could have accom-plished． Getting all four samples right was a tough test, biit not too tough, we thought, for people whobelieved they could recognize their brand．In the end, only 7 0ut of 19 regular cola drinkers correct-ly identified their brand of choice in all four trial．s．The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly． Both groups did better than chance would predict, but nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times．Two people got all'four samples vrrong．Overall, hal．f theparticipants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burn-out, was not a factor．Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price． 1.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to A．show that a person's opinion about taste is mere guesswork B．compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks C．find out the role taste preference plays in a person's drinking D．reveal which cola is more to the liking of the dr-inkcrs 2.The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that A．there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi B．few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi C．people's tastes differ from one another D．Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people's two most favorite drinks 3.It is implied in the first paragraph that A．the competition between the two colas is very strong B．blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans C．the purpose of taste test is to promote the sale of colas D．the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies 4.The underlined word "bumout" here refers to the state of ． A．being seriously bumt in the skin B．being badly damaged by fire C．being unable to bum for lack of fuel D．being unable to function because of too much use 5.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to ． A．emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other B．recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control'of colas C．show that taste preference is highly subjective D．argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy
