“Tell me, Wally,” my amazed friend asked the driver, “have you always served customers like this?”
Wally smiled into the back-view mirror.
“No, not always. In fact, it’s only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the taxi drivers do. Then I heard the personal growth of Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day. He had just written a book called You’ll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, ‘Stop complaining! Distinguish yourself from your competition. Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles fly high above the crowd.’”
“That hit me right between the eyes. Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other taxis and their drivers. The taxis were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.”
“I take it that has paid off for you,” I said.
“It sure has,” Wally replied. “My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I’ll probably quadruple(增四倍) it. You were lucky to get me today. I don’t sit at taxi-stands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can’t pick them up myself, I get a trustworthy friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.”
Wally was phenomenal. He was running a first-class service out of a Yellow Taxi.
I’ve probably told that story to more than fifty taxi drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn’t do any of what I was suggesting.
Wally, the Taxi Driver, made a different choice.
51.   The underlined word “phenomenal” means ______.
A.easy-going           B.warm-hearted      C.flexible              D.remarkable
52.   Wally doesn’t park his taxi at taxi-stands just because _______.
A.his income doubles.
B.his taxi is usually fully booked
C.he has a company of his own.
D.he has a look of a disgusting eagle
53.   Wally’s income doubled when he improved his service about ______.
A.one year ago                                        B.two years ago
C.five years ago                                       D.seven years ago
54.   After reading the passage we may draw a safe conclusion that ______.
A.kindness must be rewarded
B.it’s easy to say but hard to do
C.good service pays off in the end
D.the early bird catches the worm

B

I’ve just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would never skydive again, I wasn’t feeling glad to be alive. Instead I was wondering how I could possibly live without it.

It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television: “Try skydiving!”

The next day, I called the nearest skydiving centre and booked my first jump.

I will never forget my first jump. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. As I pushed myself away from the plane at 11,000 feet, my mind went blank.

Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life.

From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often.

The accident happened on my 1,040th jump. Another skydiver collided (碰撞) with my parachute (降落傘) at 80 feet. I fell and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke my legs, my right arm and my nose. I lost 6 litres of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to be alive.

People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only motivation to get better was that I could do it again. All I can say is that for me, skydiving is life and life is skydiving.

50. What can we learn about the author’s first skydiving from the text?

A. The author planned it for a long time.

B. The author was too excited to enjoy it.

C. It turned out to be fairly successful.

D. It took place a year before the accident.

51. The underlined part “I was hooked” most probably means “__________”.

A. I was attracted by skydiving          B. I was shocked by skydiving

C. I became familiar with skydiving      D. I became curious about skydiving

52. Which of the following shows the author’s strong will for skydiving?

A. The author spent almost every nine-to-five day skydiving.

B. The author worked hard to make more money for skydiving.

C. The author imagined himself skydiving while at the hospital.

D. The author expected to recover only to continue skydiving.
