Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi carb. Here's what    happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took ogfor Grand Central Station. We were driving in the    right lane when, all of a sudden,a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My    taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches! 
The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us.  My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So,I said, "Why  did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!“And this is when my taxi dniver told me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck.”
Many people are like garbage(rubbish)  trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frus-    tration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to    dump it.And if you let them, they'll dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on*  You'll be happy with what you did.
I started thinking, how often do I let Garb4ge 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 that day I said:  "I'm not going to do anymore."                                                                                        
Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day. What about you? If you let   more garbage trucks pass you by, you'll be happier. Life's too short to wake up in the moming with  regrets.So, Love the people who treat you right.Forget about the ones who don't.

A.The taxi almost hit another car.

Life in 2060
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe(假设;虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?
A. Many tourists. B. Many other animals. C. Many plants. D. A sea.
What will people eat then according to the passage?

A.Biscuits in pill form. B.Foods in gas form.
C.Foods in water form. D.Foods in pill form.

Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060?

A.Because they don’t eat meat .
B.Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.
C.Because the number of animals decreases.
D.Because all the animals have died of diseases.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Mobile Phones
Nowadays, nearly everyone has a mobile phone. In our daily lives we make phone calls to others, and we need to send messages to exchange information. Now, you can surf the Internet by using your mobile phone. I have to say that I enjoy using my phone, but I am worried at the same time: Is it healthy and safe to use?
Mobile phones have many advantages. Firstly, we keep in touch with people by using them. Because of our busy life, we have little time to meet friends and our beloved ones. Thanks to mobile phones, we can tell them how everything is going. When an emergency happens, we can call for help using our phones. It is convenient and important in our lives.
But every coin has two sides and it is the same with mobile phones. As people are used to making phone calls, they are spending less and less time with their family and friends. Phones give them more excuses to stay out of reach. Because of the convenience, the love and care between people has changed into a few words in a message or a phone call. For students, there are more chances to get distracted(分心的) from their lessons. When I was in middle school, I often looked out of the window to rest my eyes, but now I spend those moments on my phone.
In the end, I hope you can think about the advantages and the disadvantages, and use your mobile phone correctly. We humans created mobile phones, and we should keep them under control.
According to the second paragraph, we spend little time with friends because .

A.we have mobile phones B.our lives are comfortable
C.we are shy D.we are always busy

What does the underlined word “emergency” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A.A worrying and dangerous situation
B.An expected event.
C.An important thing.
D.A funny and exciting moment

Which of the following ways of expressing love and care is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Visiting each other. B.Making phone calls
C.Sending messages. D.Writing letters.

What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.To tell us the disadvantages of using mobile phone.
B.To advise us to use mobile phones correctly.
C.To list all the advantages of using mobile phones.
D.To explain why many people don’t use mobile phones.

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(养老金). Furthermore, some in-situations should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options(选择) have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?

A.Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B.Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C.Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D.Increase the level of pensions.

The underlined word “viable” in the fourth paragraph most probably means “______”.

A.impossible B.practical C.perfect D.obvious

What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?

A.To point out the need for government support for old people.
B.To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C.To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D.To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.
