My taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black cars 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(垃圾) 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(倾卸)it. And if you let them, they dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, dont take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. Believe me. Youll 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, “Im not going to do it any more.”I began to see “Garbage Trucks”. I see the load theyre carrying. I see them ing to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I dont 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 wele 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 whats important.1.Who acted like a garbage truck in the accident described in the first two paragraphs?A. The author. B. The driver of the black car. C. The taxi driver. D. Both drivers.2.The reason why the taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy is that _.A. the black car was full of garbageB. the driver of the black car didnt cause any damage to the taxiC. the taxi driver didnt want his mood ruined D. the driver of the black car was angry and the taxi driver felt a little frightened3.The underlined part “the load” in Paragraph 5 refers to _.A. waste materialsB. excitement C. new products D. bad mood 4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Always be kind and hardworking. B. Try to be good leaders as well as good parents.C. Ignore unpleasantness and stick to(坚持) your tasks.D. Do things quickly so as to be ready for the next.BToday many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work.One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didnt know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, But it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact? Marie Curie thought that there must be another source of radiation in this material.In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, And one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation.Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society.1.The scientists of Marie Curies day knew . A. that uranium gave off radiation B. that radium gave off radiation C. that there was some radium in uranium D .that uranium and radium both gave off radiation2.The Curies found the element radium . A. with other scientists help B. by asking some famous scientists C. by doing many experiments D .with their teachers help3.In the past many people thought . A. that women must get the same chance as men in education and jobs B. that women should receive much education C. that women should get good jobs D. that women could not do the work well4.Marie Curie proved to people .A. that there was a new element uraniumB. that there was a new element radiumC. that women could do their work as well as men if they were really given the same conditionsD. both B and CCIn England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume (认为) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋转) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes” a nod means “no”.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting, talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult its just not done. Attitudes to women vary considerably around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节).1The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because _.A. they didnt know the English languageB. the bus conductor told them to jump the queueC. they didnt know the custom of lining up for a busD. they thought they were looked down upon2Whats the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in Para. 1?A. Modest. B. Entertaining. C. Misunderstanding. D. Rude.3Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage? A. In Europe, using the left hand is considered less respected.B. In India, the left hand is not used as a sign of respect to others. C. In Thailand, youd better cross your legs when sitting or talking. D. In Japan, it is considered bad manners to touch the head of an adult.4The underlined sentence “Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty” means in Bulgaria _.A. you are probably thirsty if you nod your headB. youre possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your headC. you probably refuse to drink when you nod your headD. youd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head5We can infer from the passage that _.A. in Asian countries, women are equal to men in every fieldB. learning a language well is a necessity before going abroad C. attitudes to women vary from country to countryD. in Japan, men are still the centre of the familyDNew pictureThe National Gallery now has a fine still life by the 18th century Dutch painter Jan van OsThis large picture （89.1 cm x 71cm） of flowers and fruit is painted in light bright colours on woodIt is one of the first pictures of this type in the GalleryThe picture is signed and dated 1777 and 1778It is not unusual for a picture to be dated two years: the artist waited for particular flowers to e out in their different seasons in order to paint themThis picture was given to the Gallery by Miss Violet Churchman in memory of her sister Ida Nancy.

A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least e as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors.We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday plaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you bee addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and bee addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America a
