How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter,rude boss,or an insensitive employee      your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed       the airport. We were driving in the    lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his      ,slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and     the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started       at us.
My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really      . So I asked,"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”   
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of      , full of frustration,full of anger,and full of disappointment. As their garbage       up,they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on     .Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave,wish them well,and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be      .Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with     .The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s     in your life. Roy Baumeister,a psychology researcher from Florida State University,found in his extensive research that you      bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you      them more frequently.
So…Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you       it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”,you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by     go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day!Have a marvelous,garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today       the harvest you reap tomorrow.

試題分析:
本文敘述了作者乘坐出租車時(shí)發(fā)生的事情,通過出租車司機(jī)的一番話,闡明一個(gè)道理:記住美好的,忘卻不愉快的,專注重要的;對待生活的態(tài)度決定生活的狀態(tài)。
小題1:下文敘述的是出租車司機(jī)的豁達(dá)和睿智:不要讓那些滿腹怒氣罵罵咧咧的人影響自己的心情,做自己該做的事情。作者設(shè)問“你會讓……等人毀壞你一天的心情嗎”以引起下文。ruin: 毀壞。enrich: 豐富。spare: 抽出、騰出。obtain: 獲得。均與下文語境不合。故B項(xiàng)正確。
小題2:head for: 前往。介詞for表示方向。類似的短語還有l(wèi)eave for. 故D項(xiàng)正確。
小題3:A. latter:后者 B. right:正確的;右邊的; C. opposite:相反的;對面的;D. free:有空的;:免費(fèi)的;自由的;作者乘坐的出租車應(yīng)該是在“正確的”車道上行駛。作者提及此事是為了襯托下文小車司機(jī)的無禮。故選擇B項(xiàng)。
小題4:一輛小車突然從路旁停車位駛出,出租車司機(jī)只得猛踩“剎車”。故選擇brakes(車剎),A項(xiàng)正確。常理可知“門窗、座位”不合題意。
小題5:A. knock:敲; B. overtake:超過、超越; C. miss:錯(cuò)過;思念;D. lose:遺失。出租車司機(jī)緊急剎車、向傍邊猛打方向,才避免了與小車相撞。miss: 錯(cuò)過;未擊中。故C項(xiàng)正確。
小題6:從下文作者不理解出租車司機(jī)的友善舉動可推斷,此處應(yīng)該是小車司機(jī)無禮。laugh at: 嘲笑;throw sth. at sb: 將某物向某人砸過去; glance at: 看一眼; yell at sb. 對某人吼叫。故選擇D項(xiàng)。
小題7:此處顯示出租車司機(jī)的大度,對著對方“微笑、揮手”,絲毫沒有因?yàn)樾≤囁緳C(jī)有錯(cuò)且無禮以及差點(diǎn)發(fā)生的嚴(yán)重后果而生氣,反而主動示好。wonder: 想知道、納悶;guess: 猜測; ignore: 不理、忽略。不合語境。故選擇B項(xiàng)。
小題8:出租車司機(jī)主動示好不是因?yàn)榕率禄蚍笱,而是真誠地表示友善。所以作者不能理解。angry:憤怒的;disappointed:失望的; tired: 疲勞的;故選擇friendly:,A項(xiàng)正確。
小題9:A. expectation:期望、期待; B. passenger:乘客;C. garbage;垃圾; D. goods;貨物。前一句提到“垃圾車定律”。這里及后文是對該定律的解釋:許多人就像垃圾車,滿腹沮喪、憤怒、失望等垃圾,垃圾滿了就要傾倒。故選擇C項(xiàng)。
小題10:A. turn up 出現(xiàn);B. push;推C. hold up:延誤;D. pile up:堆積。垃圾堆積起來就需要找地方傾倒。pile up: 堆積。故D項(xiàng)正確。
小題11: A. road:道路;B. child:兒童;C. you:你;D. dustbin:垃圾箱。這些滿腹“垃圾”的人有時(shí)會將不良情緒傾瀉到他們碰到的任何人身上。本題選擇you,泛指任何人。故C項(xiàng)正確。
小題12: A. upset:難過的;B. happy:快樂的、幸福的;C. pitiful:可憐的;D. frightened:害怕的。
作者說,相信他說的話,你就會“快樂一些”。故選擇B項(xiàng)。
小題13:不要接受別人傾倒的“垃圾”并轉(zhuǎn)倒給其他人。spread sth. to sb.:將某事傳給某人; share sth. with sb.:與某人分享某物。 故選擇 A項(xiàng)。
小題14:A. surprise:驚訝;B. pleasure:樂趣;C. doub:疑慮D. regret:后悔。如果不接受別人的“垃圾”并轉(zhuǎn)倒給其他人,你就不會因輕率沖動而后悔。人生苦短,每天早晨從“后悔”中醒來是難以承受之重。故選擇D項(xiàng)。
小題15:A. funny:有趣的;B. important:重要的;C. strange:奇怪的;D. embarrassing:令人尷尬的。能否成功的標(biāo)志在于你能否迅速忘卻不快而專注于“重要”的人生目標(biāo)。故選擇B 項(xiàng)。
小題16:  A. remember:記得;B. forget:忘記;C. value:重視;D. appreciate:欣賞、感激。后句說到人們更容易儲存不好的記憶,所以此處說的是人們更經(jīng)常“記住”的是糟糕的事情。故A項(xiàng)正確。
小題17:A. enjoy:享受、喜愛;B. exchange:交換;C. recall:記起、回憶起;D.imagine:想象。人們更容易儲存不好的記憶,自然也更容易“回想”起不好的記憶。故選擇C項(xiàng)。
小題18:A. inspire:激勵;B. take:接受、參加;C. mend:修補(bǔ)、修正;D. notice:注意到、看到。生活中你的努力只占一層,九層取決于你的生活態(tài)度。此處take意為“接受”。故B項(xiàng)正確。
小題19:A. let:讓;允許;B. consist:包括、包含;C. make:制造;D. dream:夢想、希望。只有“忘卻”不好的,才能為美好的東西在心中留下位置。let go of sth. 放棄;忘卻。故A項(xiàng)正確。
小題20:今天播下的種子“決定”明天的收獲。distinguish: 區(qū)分、分辨。deserve: 應(yīng)得、配得。deliver: 投遞、分發(fā)。故D項(xiàng)正確。

She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, not so open as before: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all, she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.
One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmates and would return late. This was the first time her mother had agreed, and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness(不安) got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and ---there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back.” “Yeah.” “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?” “Yes, Oh, that… Who’s that boy?” The daughter was stunned (發(fā)愣) for a moment. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I’m going to bed” “All right. Go to sleep early.”
Next morning, when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow.

Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.
“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said.
“I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbor Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbor!”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”
Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbor, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other,” said Farmer Bob.

Someone telephoned me today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help.

I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(傳教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm      .
"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very    , I will do!"
When it was possible, he would spend an hour     to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,     himself to be the person in the speech.
"In the beginning, the chickens looked so        , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been        by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me       . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more   and I had a better understanding of the exact      of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
"You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(專橫的). He        believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not      much.' During the whole childhood,   I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which    my shy personality. I used to worry about being  at, so I became a stammerer. From then on, I kept     in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared      , therefore I regained my   ."
Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most   missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language    . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can     them by yourself.

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own, some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six-week period, to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make a joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.
So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.
小題1:The passage mainly discusses ________.
A.teachingB.literatureC.humorD.knowledge
小題2:The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A.funnyB.tiringC.inspiringD.brilliant
小題3:The English teacher the writer disliked most ________.
A.was not able to make students laughB.hurt his student’s feelings
C.didn’t let his students do the gradingD.had no sense of humor
