Maybe someone will say the driver is so stupid, we could not find such a man in our real life. But, friends, please read it one more time! Trust me, it can easy our lifeLast Monday I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.We were driving in the right lane when suddenly 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 by just inches! The driver of the black car whipped his head around and started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him and I mean he was really friendly. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This man 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 explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes theyll dump it on you. Dont take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Dont take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so “Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who dont.” 64. Can we make our lives better easily? 65. Where did the writer go last Monday? 66. What did the taxi driver do when someone shouted at him? 67. What do many people do when they are full of anger, dump it on others or keep it in their hearts? 68. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage? 64. No. ( No, we cant.) 一般疑问句回答：文中信息表转折关系65. The airport. ( He went to the airport.) 66. He just smiled and waved to him. 67. Dump it on others. 68. Remember “The Law of the Garbage Truck.” and try to be friendly to others.

But a new project in Berlin is hoping to turn them into shelters for another endangered technology books. Konrad Kutt of the Institute for Sustainability in Education, Employment and Culture decided to start the BcherboXX project to improve reading in Berlin. They filled telephone booths that are about to be thrown away with books and put benches outside for people to sit down and take a reading break. “It teaches people about reusing in details, about sustainability (持续性) and also about improving learning,” said Kutt. These public bookshelves are in the streets of many cities across Germany. These libraries are supported by donations and taken care by local volunteer groups. Each shelf holds around 200 books. It takes about six weeks to replace the old books with new ones.Each of Berlins three current reading booths has been colourfully painted by students who are also responsible for building the benches and bookshelves inside the booths. The telephone booths themselves were bought from telephone companies that set to just throw them away. Some community members keep an eye on the booths to prevent destroying and make sure they are often cleaned. In these libraries, people can read whatever they want to read. Local people who visit the booths are encouraged to leave one of their own books when they take a book with them. There are no sign-out sheets or rules for visitors to follow, like at a library because the BcherboXX system relies on trust and the communitys good will.One woman named Petra Rcker, a 45-year-old social worker, stopped by to take a look at the books. “I come by here on the way to work but never have stopped by until now,” Rcker said. “It looks interesting.” This time, she left without a book. “But I will certainly be back here,” she said.64.

Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They cant get enough clean water to keep healthy. Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Water covers 70% of the earths surface. But most of that is sea water. We cant use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earths surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isnt as hard as Napogas. But that doesnt mean you dont have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out. How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then,when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.Something must be done to prevent water form being polluted.Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world wont have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in halfand youll be just as clean.When you wash dishes, dont let the water run.Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isnt full, youre wasting water!64.Does Napoga have time to go to school or not? 65.When is Earth Day?66.How much does fresh water cover the earths surface ? 67.What do you think of dirty water? 68.What is the main idea of the passage? 64.She has no time to go to school.65.April 2266.It covers only 1% of the earths surface.67.Its very harmful./Its very bad for people,animals,plants and buildings.68.Its time to take care of the water we use./We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.6.（2012年门头沟二模）八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分, 每小题2分） We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel.64. Do many animals stay in one place?_65. When do many birds move to warmer places to find food?_66. Where is salmon born?_67.
