Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, or an insensitive employee 36 your day?Sixteen years ago I experienced an incident in a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and 37 the airport. We were driving in the right lane when a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the 38 suddenly, and our car stopped just one inch from the other cars back-end. The driver, who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started 39 at us.But then heres what really blew me away. My taxi driver just waved at the guy 40 . He was so friendly that I asked, “Why did you just do that?” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.He said,“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 41 , full of frustration, anger and disappointment. As their garbage 42 , they need a place to dump it and sometimes theyll dump it on you. Dont take it 43 . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. ”So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 44 it to other people at work，at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I dont want their garbage and Im not going to make it known everywhere.”Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with 45 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on whats 46 in your life. Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks 47 their lives.

For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, 49 everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. 50 breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a beautiful life for themselves.So 51 the opportunity.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ALondon has more than its fair share of must-see sights and instantly recognizable landmarks, but hidden down the side streets and in urban backwaters is a scattered collection of equally fascinating, lesser known icons. Throw off the crowds and get to know an unfamiliar but interesting side to London with our top seven.Brixton WindmillA glorious sight, this superbly-restored windmill is an eye-catching reminder that much of town is a mosaic of once pastoral (田园式的）villages. The windmill is open in the afternoons for a few days a month between April and October, usually at weekends. Its best to pre-book the (free) tour, but you can also just pitch up on open days.Horniman MuseumWith its heavenly gardens, graceful Victorian conservatory and eclectic(不拘一格的) displays, the Horniman Museum is a gem(瑰宝）.The aquarium, honey bees and stuffed walrus are always a hit with kids, while adults can be amazed by the splendid collection of musical instruments and the 19th-century Apostle Clock, where Jesus disciples(门徒）walk by him in line (with Judas turning away at the last moment) daily at 4 p. m.Chinese Pagoda Kew GardensKews 163-foot-tall ten-storey pagoda，designed by William Chambers in 1762, is an excellent copy of a Ta (pagoda)，despite having an even number of floors (Chinese pagodas have an odd(奇数) number). The pagoda cannot usually be climbed, but can be admired from the outside. Dulwich Picture GalleryAs much an excuse to enjoy the village charms of Dulwich Village as to admire some delicate European masterworks, this gallery is a southeast London charmer. Join a free guided tour to the permanent collection (3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday), catch the latest temporary exhibition and admire the lovely garden or Christs Chapel (open 1:30 p.m. to 3：30p.m. Tuesdays).Temple ChurchFeaturing in The Da Vinci Code and dating to the late 12th century, this is one of Londons oldest and holiest medieval(中世纪的）treasures. Built by the Knights Templar, the church is divided into the Round designed to resemble Jerusalems Church of the Holy Sepulcher and containing the sculpture of crusading knights on its hallowed floorand the Chancel. MonumentCompleted in 1677 and designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Dr Robert Hooke, this memorial to the catastrophic Great Fire is an immense 60. 6m-tall Doric column of Portland Stone.

I was，too. And I knew how to Walk the dog.”“Wow, really?”said our waiter Jumario Simmons，flashing a big smile at us.“Dont encourage her,” I said.“What else could you do?” he asked.“I did Round the World，” Jackie said, now ignoring me completely. “That cradle(婴儿时 期的）thing, too.”Id asked Jumario what he did when he wasnt waiting on tables. The 24-year-old waiter was so smart that I knew there had to be more to his story. It turns out that he won a regional yo-yo competition last year. He also gives free lessons to kids. “It gives them something to do，” Jumario said. “Keeps them off the streets”One of the great things about eating out is the table talk with strangers, which reminds us that everyone has a life and a name. But the other day I heard that some restaurants are ending this talk between diners and servers. I listened to the reporter describe how their improvements are allowing customers to test orders from their tables to speed up service.The reporter got my attention with this sentence: “Five minutes after typing Im at table 3，a meal arrives at the table. ” But there wasnt a “please” with this order, which should have been a request, by the way. If youve ever waited on tables, you know that the last thing you need is yet another way for a customer to be unpleasant.Most servers are constantly mediating(调解）between customers requests for substitutions and overworked cooks accusations of treason. Except at high-end restaurants，servers also have to hover like mothers of preschoolers so that we might consider them worthy of a large enough tip to lift their pay to minimum wage.Texting a server from a table a few feet away is equal to moving our fingers and shouting, “Hey，you!” It was rude in 1957，and its rude now. You wont ever find me texting a waiter or waitress.61.What do we know from the text?A. The waiter knows Jackie well. B. The author has a great interest in playing yoyo.C. Jackie plays yo-yo in her spare time. D. The waiter is good at playingyoyo.62.Some restaurants allow diners to text a server from a table to .A. show respect for diners B. reduce the cost of serviceC. improve their service D. stop talks between diners and servers63.Whats the last but one paragraph mainly about?A. The work of servers. B. The pay of servers.C. The customersrequest. D. The work of mothers of preschoolers.64.From the passage, the authors attitude towards texting a server from a table is .A. indifferent B. negative C. curious D. positive65.The passage mainly focuses on .A. how to wait on tables B. the friendship between old friendsC. where to eat out D. the relationship between customers and waitersCThe hottest “green” toy in Germany isnt made of organic or recycled materials. This one has a solar panel and only runs if kids remember to insert bright red “energy stones”, that power the space station. Germany, a pioneer in many renewable energy initiatives, is also at the forefront of creating environment-friendly toys aimed at making kids think about where energy comes from and how much of it they can use, raising awareness through play. A number of high-tech green toys are on display at this years Nuremberg toy fair, which runs through Sunday.Among them, there are hydroelectric-powered(水电动力的）toy cars, and doll houses with wind turbines and rainwater. The bright green “Future Planet” space station features an inner atrium(中庭）with a fan that is powered by a functioning solar cell. Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future.Makers and retailers(零售商）believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their future and that of our kids. “Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thinking about this as we move ahead,” said Judith Schweinitz, a spokeswoman for Playmobil， maker of the solar panel-fitted space station. “It is increasingly being brought into our play concept.” Green toys which range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise environmental awareness make up only a sliver of the $84 billion international toy market, but their
