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.

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.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves, and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit in the tree, full of life and harvest（收获）.

The manthen explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seenonly one season in the tree's life. He told them" You cannot judge a tree,or a person by only one season and its true nature —the pleasure, joy, and lovethat come from that life can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up."

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, harvest of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

What's My Line (台词)?

"One of my actors is sick! He has just one line and you're the only one who fits his clothes!" One afternoon, the school drama(戏剧) director suddenly shouted to me. She seemed so nervous and worried that I felt sorry for her and said, "OK".

"You will be fine. It's easy!" she said. But it wasn't easy at all. On the stage(舞台), four other actors and actresses spoke their lines, and I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I couldn't even breathe. I just wanted to leave. The next thing I knew, I was running off the stage.

As I was running off the stage, I accidentally knocked over a glass of grape juice that was on a table. T he purple juice hit the girl next to me – Andrea, the leading actress of the drama. She gave me a nasty look. I thought s he was going to kill me!

But then, Andrea quickly said, "Darling, you're so silly! Let's toast(干杯) to my darling's silliness! Cheers!" She quickly took another glass of grape juice and drank it. The other actors quickly followed Andrea's lead and saved the scene(场面). The audience(观众) thought my mistake was part of the play!

I said sorry to everyone after the play. To my surprise, they were not angry with me. They told me, "It's all a part of being on stage." I could be wrong, but I think I liked being on stage. I think I will try again.

A long time ago, there was an emperor. He had a beautiful garden. In the garden, there was a little nightingale (夜莺) singing very beautifully.

One day, the emperor heard about this little bird's beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale's voice, he said, "Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her."

The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully, too.

The emperor was pleased.

Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor became very weak. One morning, while lying in bed, the emperor wanted it to sing once again. But the robot bird couldn't sing any more. Suddenly, the nightingale landed on the window. She began to sing her most beautiful song. The emperor was very happy! He became better and better each day.

After the emperor was well, he changed a lot and became kind to his people. From then on, all his people cherished(爱戴) him for his love and kindness.
