One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane（车道）when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire（轮胎） made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I was frightened. But then I couldn't believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn't believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital.”

This is when my taxi driver taught my what I now call, “The Law of the Rubbush Truck（垃圾车法则）.” He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger and full of bad feelings. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray（祈祷）for those who don't.

（1）、Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?

A、The writer went to the airport by taxi that day. B、The taxi driver stopped his car in time. C、The black car jumped out and crashed into the taxi. D、A car accident nearly happened on the writer's way to the airport.

（2）、The underlined word yelling in the second paragraph means in Chinese.

A、道歉 B、傻笑 C、吼叫 D、告别

（3）、Why did the guy get angry so easily?

A、Because he was in a bad mood. B、Because his car was full of rubbish. C、Because he was badly hurt by the taxi. D、Because the taxi driver didn't say sorry to him.

（4）、From the passage, we can tell that the taxi driver is _______.

A、silly and dishonest B、wise and friendly C、helpful but nervous D、modest but impatient

（5）、What does the passage mainly tell us?

A、Fight with people like rubbish trucks. B、Make friends with people like rubbish trucks. C、Have a quarrel with people like rubbish trucks. D、Don't let rubbish trucks change our moods.

The wife asked the husband, “In this life, what did you miss?”

When she was 25, the husband replied, “I missed a chance of finding a new job.”

When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.

At 45, the husband sadly said, “I missed the chance of seeing my closed relative before his last breath.”

At 55, the husband said disappointingly, “I missed a good chance to retire.”

At 65, the husband hurried replied, “I missed the dentist's appointment.”

At 75, the wife didn't ask the husband any more, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “①In this life, I didn't miss having you!”

The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work. So much that he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged his wife tightly and said, “Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.”

In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work. These people revolve(旋转) their lives around their jobs. They are unwilling to spend time on health care. They missed the chance to be with their children in their growing up. They neglect(忽略) the loved ones who care for them, and also their health.

It all started at the beginning of the fifth grade. At first, Carmen wasn't really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯着) her eyes to see the blackboard clearly. She had to do the same thing when she read street signs, or when she watched a movie.

It wasn't long before Carmen found herself squinting all the time, but she didn't want anyone to know that. One day, she asked for a desk closer to the blackboard. Her teacher asked if she had trouble seeing the blackboard. Carmen shook her head, but she knew she couldn't pretend(假装) much longer.

At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television while watching her favourite shows. Her mother noticed that and said, "Tomorrow I'm calling the eye doctor to get an appointment for you." Three days later, Carmen had" new glasses and the doctor told her to wear them all the time. Carmen frowned in the car the whole way home.

"All of the kids at school will think I'm a nerd." she said.

"You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them," her mother smiled and said. But Carmen didn't believe her.

The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. She avoided her friends and stood alone, feeling unhappy. Suddenly, she heard her friend Tracy shout. Carmen ran over. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"My silver ring is gone!" Tracy cried. "It's very special and I can't lose it!"

Carmen could tell that Tracy was very sad. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.

▲ She took the glasses out and put them on. She caught, her breath. Everything looked so different! So clear! She looked down at the ground and a glimmer of silver caught her eye. It was the ring.

"Here it is. I've found it!" She handed it to Tracy.

"Thanks, Carmen. I never thought we'd find it," Tracy paused. "Hey, I didn't know you wore glasses. They look great!"

Carmen had forgotten that she was wearing the new glasses. "Thanks," she replied shyly. As they walked back towards the school building, two more girls from her class complimented (赞美) her on her glasses. Carmen smiled. "Maybe wearing glasses won't be so bad after all," she thought.
