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 right lane      suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly      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       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 (倒) 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 more     . 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 rather 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.

I firmly believe in the power of forgiveness and I have got a lot of pleasure from it.
Last year, I was       at the traffic lights on my way to work when my car was hit from behind.

She knew that I only had a small amount of money in the bank and was      that I would not chase the young man for payment.
With everyone pressuring me to ask for payment, I was unsure about what to do. I finally decided to      a small second-hand car. After about four months, it was coming up to Christmas and I started to think about how        this young man might be feeling, waiting for me to “sting ” him, so I finally made a        and sent him this note:

My mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can't be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying，“What do you want? Take my wallet，” but at the time I thought of nothing.
I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house—Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen's voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy's head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy，and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn't crouch (蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.
I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help！” at eight o'clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(懇求) to the  more specific “Help, let me in, please let me in！” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy's screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.
The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to  come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely，“Please go and eat. We're OK.”
I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of  bringing back the death penalty(處罰) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I  was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer  sentences wouldn't change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was  directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes  talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy  and me?
People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out  in force twenty minutes later. They were ill­tempered about what was, to them, much trouble  about nothing.  After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to  describing the gunmen. “Typical，” said one policeman when we couldn't even agree on how tall  the men were.  Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two  policemen who stayed to make the report didn't think that would be much help.
The policemen were matter­of­fact about the whole thing. The thin one said，“That was a  stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do  what you're told.” Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.
Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the  house. “That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys，” he said. “If you  had gone into the house with them...” His voice became weaker. “They would have hurt her” ——he twisted his head toward me——“and killed you both.” Jeremy looked happier. “Look，” said the fat policeman kindly, “ there's no right or wrong in the situation. There's just luck.”
All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car  window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many  hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time—no  intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There's only luck. The next time I might end up dead.
And I’m sure there will be a next time.  It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone.Security is an illusion(幻覺(jué)); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they're fooling themselves.
小題1:When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window，________.
A．she felt very annoyed
B．she lost consciousness
C．she felt very much nervous
D．she lost the power of thinking
小題2:What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?
A．Jeremy's fighting.
B．The author's screaming.
C．Their neighbour's brave action.
D．The police's arrival.
小題3:When the author called for help, the neighbors didn't come out immediately because________.
A．they were much too frightened
B．they were busy preparing dinners
C．they needed time to find baseball bats
D．they thought someone was playing a trick
小題4:What the author wants to tell us is that________.
A．neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficulty
B．the police are not reliable when one is in trouble
C．security is impossible as long as people can have guns
D．preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice

Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping (包裝) paper on his birthday present. He was so       ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball      , Chuck Hart.     Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous        he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn’t thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s       on the side of the box. He realized that something was     as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was        for his amazing work in the community.
Travis’s hands     ; his heart stopped. It wasn’t that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think?
They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be     by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Travis knew he     tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Travis, wait a minute…” his dad said     “Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)      . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I     . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ? “
“ No,” Travis said.
“ Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a(n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,     you were polite and made the best of it. You have honor, like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I am hoping that someday, your       will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes     . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .

Instead of staying at home to care for the kids, many mothers work to help support their families. But what does a mother do when her child is sick?
Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child. Although she lost her job, she took an opportunity to turn her hobby into a business: creating “baby cakes”, a combination of diapers (尿布) and baby products artfully arranged to look like a cake. Inside, it contains blankets, towels, bottles and toys — things that can be used for babies. They are perfect gifts.
However, the idea of making “baby cakes” came from one of her experiences. When her child was born, she received a gift called diaper cake. It was made of diapers, but it was small and unusable. So she decided to create her own style of it to give her friends as a gift. Her friends liked these gifts very much and advised her to make and sell “baby cakes”.
She thought that it would be turned into a full-time business. In 1998, she started Baby-Cakes.com. After several years, her business grew and expanded in a way that even she had never expected. She sold her products online at first. Three years after her own website was created, demand for her products was so great that in August, 2001 she opened a real store. She is ready to combine the online store with the traditional store.
小題1:Sophia was out of work because     .
A．she wanted to start her own business
B．she lost interest in computer programming
C．she failed to design computer programs
D．she couldn’t balance her work and family
小題2:What made Sophia decide to create “baby cakes” for sale?
A．Her unemployment.B．Her family’s support.
C．Her friends’ suggestion.D．Her market research.
小題3:Which of the following is the right order for Sophia’s events?
a. She set up her first real store.
b. She turned her hobby into a business.
c. She used both traditional and online selling.
d. She set up her own website for her products.

Helen Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter known for putting presidents on the hot seat, died at 92．
To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure．Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon．It is an honor she has earned．Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best - challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth．She said, "We reporters' priority（首要事情） is the people's right to know - without fear or favor．We are the people's servants．"
Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920．All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education, and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard．She made up her mind while still in high school to become a reporter after writing for the student newspaper．After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1942, Thomas headed straight for Washington, D．C．in search of a newspaper job．Before long, she landed one at Washington Daily News．Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper's reporters and editors．The eager young woman found the atmosphere exciting and was convinced she had made the right career choice．
Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President-elect John F．Kennedy and his family．Once President Kennedy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president's family to his policies．She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences．Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy．Over the years, Thomas found her job "thrilling and inspiring," but never boring．And she took very seriously her duty to "keep an eye on the president" and keep American people informed．

It was the last day of July and the long hot summer was drawing to a close As for me．1 was out of spirits，and，if the truth must be told, out of money as well，During the past year I had not managed my finances as carefully as usual；and 1 was now limited to spending the autumn economically between my mother’s cottage at Hampstead and my own in town.
My father had been dead for some years，and my sister and 1 were the sole survivors of a family of five children. My father was a drawing-master before me He had been highly successful in his profession and my mother and sister were left economically independent after his death.
The view of London below me had sunk into the black shadow of the cloudy night, when I stood before the gate of my mother’s cottage I had hardly rung the bell．When the house door was opened violently．My worthy Italian friend，Professor Pesca，appeared in the servant’s place，and rushed out joyously to receive me．
I had first become acquainted(熟悉)with my Italian friend at certain great houses，where he taught Italian and I taught drawing What I then knew of the history of his life was that he had left Italy for political reasons and that he had been respectably established for many years in London as a teacher of languages It once happened that I saved him from certain death by drowning while we
were swimming in the sea at Brighton Afterwards he overwhelmed(淹沒(méi))me with the wildest expressions of affection and exclaimed passionately, that he would hold his life at my disposal from then on, and declared that he should never be happy again until he had had the opportunity of proving his gratitude．Little did I think that the occasion to serve me was soon to come．
Pesca dragged me in by both hands into the parlor, where my mother sat by the open window, laughing and fanning herself．Pesca was one of her especial favorites，and his wildest strange acts were always pardonable in her eyes．
“Now, my good dears．”began Pesca．“l(fā)isten to me The time has come I recite my good news．I speak at last…'Hear, hear!”said my mother, humoring the joke“I go back into my life，and I address myself to the noblest of men，who found me dead at the bottom of the sea，and who pulled me up to the top. What did I say when l got into my own life and my own clothes again? I said that my life belonged to my dear friend，Walter, for the rest of my days Now,”cried the enthusiastic little mall at the top of his voice．“happiness bursts out of me at every pore of my skin．For I have found a job for you”
