Once upon a time， there was a spider with the name Anansi. He knew that he was very clever but he also knew he wasn’t wise. He didn’t like this， but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom. The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.

Soon his basket was full， but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous(嫉妒)of his wisdom and take _it_ from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body， he tried to climb the tree， but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.

Then his youngest son walked by， “What are you doing， father?” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.

Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily， but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever， but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!” he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.

One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane (車道) 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(吼叫) 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 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 (情緒). 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.A car accident nearly happened on the writer’s way to the ______.

A. bus station B. his home C. t rain station D. airport

2.Why did the guy get angry so easily?

A. Because he was badly hurt by the taxi.

B. Because the taxi driver didn’t say sorry to him.

C. Because he was in a bad mood.

D. Because the taxi driver just smiled.

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

A. silly and dishonest B. wise and friendly

C. helpful but nervous D. modest but impatient

4.The underlined word “frightened” in the second paragraph means ____ in Chinese.
