16.We were driving on the right road when,all of a sudden,a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver stepped on his brake,skidded(打滑),and missed the black car's back end by just inches!The driver of the black car,who almost caused a major accident,turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.I mean,my taxi driver was friendly.So,I said,"Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!"And the following is what my taxi driver told me,which I now call"the law of the Garbage Truck".
"Many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of garbage,full of anger,and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up,they need a place to dump(傾卸)it.And if you let them,they dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you,don't take it personally.Just smile,wave,wish him well,and move on.Believe me.You'll be happier."
So this is"The Law of the Garbage Truck".I started thinking:How often do I let"Garbage Trucks"run right over me?And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets?It was then that I said,"I'm not going to do it any more."
I began to see"Garbage Trucks".I see the load they're carrying.I see them coming to drop it off.And like my taxi driver,I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile,wave,and move on.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses.What about you?The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what's important.

B.The taxi driver.

分析 本文講述了生活中的"The Law of the Garbage Truck".我們許多人就像一輛裝滿垃圾的垃圾車急于找地傾倒一樣,心中充滿了怨氣、不滿等壞情緒遇著點事就向他人發(fā)泄.當(dāng)我們遇上這樣的"垃圾車一樣"的人時,要學(xué)會一笑而過,別放在心上,這樣心情才會更愉悅.

解答 55.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段前四句Many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of garbage,full of anger,and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up,they need a place to dump(傾卸)it.And if you let them,they dump it on you.可知,有許多人就像垃圾車一樣.他們心中滿是怨氣與不滿,積累到一定程度就需要找人發(fā)泄.就像垃圾車一樣,裝滿了垃圾,需要找地傾倒.你若給他們機(jī)會,他們就像倒垃圾一樣,噴你一身.由此先了解像垃圾車一樣的人的行為表現(xiàn).再由第一段中最后一句The driver of the black car,who almost caused a major accident,turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.可知,黑色汽車的駕駛員,作為事故的主要責(zé)任人,扭頭就對作者他們出言不遜.由此可知,黑色汽車的駕駛員行為就像垃圾車找地傾倒垃圾一樣,把自己的不滿發(fā)泄到他人身上.故選C.
56.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段最后一句Just smile,wave,wish him well,and move on.Believe me.You'll be happier.可知,面對他人的發(fā)泄要一笑而過,別放在心上,這樣心情才會更愉悅.由此可知,不要讓他人的行為干擾或破壞自己的心情.故選B.
57.A 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文中劃線部分的句子"I see the load they're carrying."以及第二段的大意可知,垃圾車上裝載的垃圾比喻為一個人心中充滿的怨氣、不滿等壞情緒.故選A.
58.B 段落大意題.根據(jù)此段最后一句The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what's important.可知,成功人士善于很快關(guān)注重要的事,從而不受無關(guān)事情的干擾.故選B.

點評 推理判斷題要在原文相關(guān)語句的基礎(chǔ)上合理推測判斷字里行間的所隱藏的信息.

6.Parents,let this be a lesson:Don't leave your child unattended with your ipad.Seven-year-old Faisall Shugaa decided to get himself an early Christams presents in the form of Dino Bucks,which in addition to being an in-game currency of Jurassic World,are also linked to,you know,real money.The total?An unbelievable 5,000,all of which was spent between December 13 and 18.Needless to say,F(xiàn)aisall's father,Mohamed Shugaa,flew into a rage about the charges.As it turns out,the youngster tried his father's Apple ID and password,which surprisingly allowed him to make purchases,mostly to upgrade the dinosaurs available in the vedio game.In a six-day period,F(xiàn)aisall managed to make an impressive 65 transactions (交易),at one point spending some 2,000 over the course of a single hour.
Shugaa,a store owner in the United Kindom,discovered his son's many,many mistakes when he attemped to make a purchase from a supplier.After his own charge was decreased,he called his credit card company.He was put in touch with the fraud(詐騙) team,who asked if he"was aware 60-plus transactions had been made to itunes from December 13 to 18 totaling 3,911 pounds,"he told British newspaper The Metro."I didn't have a clue what they were talking about and I had to check my bank account online to understand what was going on."
After he figured it out,things didn't get much better.
"I was so mad.I'm 32 years old,why would Apple think I would be spending thousands of pounds on buying dinosaurs and upgrading a game?"he said
But don't worry-this story has a happy ending.Despite initially being told by an Apple Support team member that there was no possibility he could get a refund(退款),Shugaa eventually got all his money back,which is lucky for Faisall(considering he would've gotten zero presents and been in even more trouble otherwise).Shugaa,for his part,says that he hopes Apple does something to see to it that no other parents experience the same headache.
Apple,for its part,recommends that parents not share their password.Or at the very least,make sure that your child is using your iDevice under careful supervision(監(jiān)管).

A.His father sent him a credit card as a Christmas present.
