We were driving on the right road when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the black car, who almost caused a major accident, turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, my taxi driver was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” And the following is what my taxi driver told me, which I now call “the law of the Garbage Truck”.

“Many people are like garbage(垃圾) trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸)it. And if you let them, they dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”

So this is “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. I started thinking: How often do I let “Garbage Trucks” run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was then that I said, “I’m not going to do it any more.”

I began to see “Garbage Trucks”. I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, and move on.

Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what’s important.

第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分,满分30分）

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

I was working in a store three years ago. I remember one girl who started   36   there a few months after me. I remember always meeting her. I don’t know   37   but for a strange reason we would never talk. We would just see each other and smile.

She would    38   smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the    39   department again. She    40   as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But I had a strange feeling. So I went up to her and asked,“What’s wrong with you?”She answered, “Why?”I said,“I could feel you’re very   41   today and you’re trying to hide it.”

She was shocked(震惊的) as if I had    42   her deepest secret, so we started    43 .

She told me why she was feeling like that and why she was    44   to hide it and we had a good time together. Time    45   and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had changed her    46   in so many ways, but I could not    47   how it had happened. I would just smile, not understanding what she    48   by that.

Today this girl is one of my best    49  . I really don’t know what I would do    50  

her. She has been there for me in every possible way a friend could be.

I guess what I’m trying to say is you     51    know when you’re helping yourself. I

52   this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a(n)

53    friend.

So the next time you see a    54   and he looks as if he needs    55   who will listen to him, listen to what he has to say. You never know, you might just end up helping yourself.
