One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane (車(chē)道)when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire(輪胎)made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the black of the other car.

I was frightened. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn’t believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital. ”

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call“The Law of the Rubbish Truck(垃圾車(chē)法則).”He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger and full of bad feelings. As their rubbish piles(堆積)up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they’ll throw it at you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray(祈禱)for those who don’t.

1.Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?

A. The writer went to the airport by taxi that day.

B. The taxi driver stopped his car in time.

C. The black car jumped out and crashed into the taxi.

2.The underlined word yelling in the second paragraph means ____ in Chinese.

A. 道歉 B. 傻笑 C. 吼叫

3.Why did the guy get angry so easily?

A. Because he was in a bad mood.

B. Because his car was full of rubbish.

C. Because he was badly hurt by the taxi.

4.From the passage, we can tell that the taxi driver is ____.

A. silly and dishonest B. wise and friendly C. helpful but nervous

5.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Fight with people like rubbish trucks.

B. Don’t let rubbish trucks change our moods.

C. Have a quarrel with people like rubbish trucks.
