There was once a king who had a great palace with a wonderful garden. In the garden, there lived all kinds of animals. All of them enjoyed living there.

There was only one thing in the garden that the king hated: an old tree in the center of the garden. It was so old and dry. This made the king so angry that he finally asked some people to cut it down and turned the place into a swimming pool. However, after the tree was cut down, the animals left the garden. Without the animals, the garden was not so beautiful as before. The king was sad, but he didn’t know what had happened.

A young man went to the king, and said he could explain what had happened. “This was because you cut the old tree down,” said the young man. “There were thousands of moths (飞蛾)which lived in the tree. Birds needed the moths to eat and then they produced wastes for plants to grow. The plants then attracted many other animals to your garden. So your garden became very beautiful. But as you cut the tree down, the animals had to leave.

“Excellent!” said the king, “I’ll make you rich and you will try to make my garden beautiful again.”

“I’m afraid it will take many years to finish. It will take many years for the natural balance(生态平衡) to get back again,” said the young man.

The king was sad, but all he could do was just to wait.

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.
