        Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back seat of a New York City taxi.

        Here's what happened. I got on a taxi and set out for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car cut in right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on the brakes. The taxi skidded (滑行) and missed that black car's back end just by inches!

        The driver of the black car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. He was so friendly! I was surprised and asked,"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" Then my taxi driver taught me something, which I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck."

        Many people are like “garbage trucks". They run around full of “garbage"- full of frustration, 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 will dump it on you. When they do so, do not take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You will be happy with what youhave done.

        I started to criticize myself for my previous reactions."How often did I let 'garbage truok'y run right over me? And how often did I take their 'garbage' and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets?" It was that day that I made up my mind not to act like that anymore.

        Successful people do not let "garbuge trucks" take over their day. What about us?

        If we let more "garbage trucks" pass us by, we will be happier. Life is too short to wake uip with regres in the morning. So, lave those people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who do not,

        Passage Two

        Nowadays, children heavily cling to digial devices such as computers and smart phones,Some spend up to six hours a day on their digital devices. They ean be playing games online with people elsewhere, updating their status on social media, texting friends, or looking for the latest apps to download to their computers or smart phones.

        This worried Marin Strott. He is the headmaster of the Old Hall School in Wellington, England. He was so concemed that he challenged his students to take part in a week of "digital detox", a program to reduce their reliance on digital devices. Mr. Strott told the loeal newspaper, the Shropshire Star, that too much sereen time

        would affect the development of their social skils. At another interview with a magazine, he mentioned that this over-reliance on digital devices"takes away family time and reduces their chances of face-to-face communication”.

        The parents are happy with the program. But what about the children? Nine-year-old Fre dusually spends around two hours on his digital devices at home after school and around 12 hours on weckends. For him, the digital detox experience was “really hard". He said that he had been engaged in many interesting outdoor activities organized by the headmaster, but still missed his phone and online games.

        The idea of keeping children away from their digital devices for a while to prevent too much dependence on them is not particularly new. There have been similar practices in the United States. But are they effective in the long run? According to Mr. Strott, even if kids go back to their digital devices, the hope is that at least they will think about how they will use their time.

        Passage Three

        Scientist Wambugu works with farmers in Kenya, a country in East Africa. She helps themgrow bigger and better crops. She is especially interested in finding simple ways to produce more food.

        In the past ten years, she has spent much of her time studying sweet potatoes. They are an important food in her part of Kenya. A vinus kept attacking the plants. It stopped the sweet potatoes from growing properly. Some farmers, says Wambugu, lost three quarters of their crops because of the vinus. Even expensive chemicals and complicated machines could not eliminate the virus.

        Wambugu went to war against the virus. She searched for a weapon that could save the sweet potatoes. This led to a laboratory established in St. Louis, Missouri. The lab works on genes. Genes exist in the cells of living things and could tell a plant to produce pink flowers or an animal to grow black hair. Now scientists have found ways to move genes from one living thing to another. This process is called genetic engineering. By making use of it, Wambugu created a sweet potato plant that could fight against the virus. She tested her research in Kenya, and her plants produced magnificent sweet potatoes.

        That's just the beginning, the seientist believes. Genetically modified foods, she

        argues,could help farmers in poor countrics grow crops desperately needed."What farmers need" complicated machines — just create strong plants that farmers can grow simply, and fewer Wambugu says,"is technology that is packaged in the seed." No expensive chemicals, no pcople will go hungty.

        Nevertheless, eritics wam that it is dangerous to put genes into species where they do not belong. Because genes tell the cells in plants or animals how to grow, it is not known for sure how the mixing of genes will affect plants of animals in the long term. With that in mind, many people worry about the safety of genetically modified foods.

        A. A vinus.

        C. New technologics.

        C. A laboratory where scientists do research.

        D. A technology to put the genes of one species into another.

        23. What concern do critics have about genetic engineering?

        A. More labor force is needed.

        B. Complex machines are required.

        C. The impact of mixed genes is still unknown.

        D. It is costly to use genetic engineering in farming.

        24. What did Wambugu do to help the farmers?

        A. She turned to the army for help.

        Passage Four

        Doctors say anger can be an exremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They wam that anger ean lead to heart disease, stomach problems,

        headaches, emotional problems and breast cancer.

        Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a caim and reasonable way. Others burst with anger, screaming and yelling. But still others keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

        For years some doctors claim that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous, They say that in both situations the brain of an angry person releases the same hormones ( 荷 尔 蒙 ). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar level in the blood. As a result, the angry person feels excited and is ready to react. The violent reaction may lead to high blood pressure. However, some other doctors argue that repressing anger is more dangerous to a person's health than expresing it. They believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of heart disease.

        Most doctors agree that it is important to learn how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the

        cause is serious enough to get angry about. If so, do not express your anger immediately. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.They also believe that a good way to deal with anger is

        to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. After all, it is much healthier to laugh than to get angry.

        Not everybody feels the same way about ears. To some, ears are just machines on wheels.These people hunt for the best value. They look for vehicles that are not only affordable but also reliable, gas efficient, reasonably safe and not too expensive to repair. To some, cars are emotional extensions of their owners. Think about the excitement when one looks at a luxury ear. The status, speed and wealth represented by such a ear are certainly atractive. There is also a special class of ear owners. To them, modern day vehicles are artistic disasters — tasteless and boring. The only real cars are those vehicles they see in movies in their grandparents' time. These cars may be really antique but not ugly.

        每个人对汽车都有不同的看法。对某些人而言，汽车只不过是装有轮子的机器。这些人会寻找最有价值的汽车。他们所寻找的是购买得起而且也可靠、省油、足够舒适、相当安全，并且维修费用不太高的汽车。对有些人而言，汽车是车主情感上的延伸。想想看到一辆豪车时的兴奋之感，它所带来的对地位、速度和财富的认同的确颇具***。此外还有另一族群的车主。他们把现代的汽车视为艺术的败类-单调又乏味。对他们而言古典精致的车辆才真正称得上汽车--就是那些我们可以从祖父辈时代的影片上看到的古董老爷车。这些车品然古老但并不丑陋。
