How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver，impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee  36 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed  37  the airport．We were driving in the  38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his  39 ，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and  40  the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started  41  at us．
My taxi driver just  42 and waved at the guy．And I mean he was really  43 ．So I asked，“Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call“The Law of the Garbage Truck”．
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of   44 ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage  45  up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on  46 ．Don't take it personally；Just smile, wave，wish them well，and move on．
Believe me．You'll be  47 ．Don't take their garbage and  48 it to other people at work, at home，or on the streets．Life's too short to wake up in he morning with  49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what's   50  in your life，Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you  5l bad things more ofter than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you  52 them more frequently．
Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don't．Life is ten percent what you make it and  ninety percent how you  53  it!
When you follow“The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life! You make room for the good by  54 go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today  55 the harvest you will reap tomorrow．

Dear Aunty,
After years of her crying, I finally gave in and allowed my daughter to have a cat. I now regret my decision. As someone needs to have a clean, tidy house, I no longer feel relaxed in my own home. If I tell her, “sorry, the cat has to go.” She will be heartbroken. What can I do?
-Feline Phobic
Dear Phobic,
I’m an animal lover and on your kid’s and cat’s side. Tell your daughter your problem. Ask her to help you come up with a plan. Perhaps you can agree to allow the cat only in certain areas of the house. This is a chance for your daughter to develop the sense of responsibility owning a pet requires.
Dear Aunty,
I got the highest grade on a biology test. Now the popular kids think I’m brainy, and want me in their lab group. I knew I was being used. Now, they want my homework. What should I do?
-Lily
Dear Lily,
Popularity can come at a price, but it’s no excuse to cheat. Offer to help new friends with their homework, but don’t give them yours.
Dear Aunty,
I’m one of six assistants in a dental (牙科的)office. But I’m new there just four months. I’ve tried to join conversations, but they just ignore me. They go shopping together. No one invites me. How can I break into the circle?
-Crystal
Dear Crystal,
Humans run in packs like dogs. When a new dog enters the pack, a lot of discovery goes on. So bring cookies for everyone! Then try making friends with one co-worker. Invite her to lunch. When you get familiar with each other, tell her how hard you’re finding the situation at work. Chances are, she’ll take you under her wing.

There are some topics that readers never grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner（伴侶） is one of them. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, first published in 1813, tells the story of five young women, all of whom are looking for a husband. In order to fully understand the novel, the readers must know that at the time when Jane Austen was writing, if a family was not rich, the daughters needed to marry well in order to live a comfortable, independent life. That is the reason why Mrs. Bennet, the mother of the five girls, is so eager to have her daughters married.
The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she finally marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he has insulted both her and her family, she dislikes him very much. Poor Darcy then falls head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after.
Set at the turn of the 19th century, the novel is still attractive to modern readers. It has become one of the most popular novels and receives great attention from literary scholars（學者）.Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic（戲劇的）and a lot of novels and stories modeling after Austen’s memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.
Jane Austen is rightly famous for her style. Her sentences have a wonderful rhythm（韻律）, and she makes such clever, true comments about people. It is not surprising that Pride and Prejudice has lasted.
小題1:In the 19th century, a poor girl in Britain was often encouraged to           .
A．master the skills of writingB．marry the one she loved
C．obey her parentsD．change her life by marrying rich
小題2:The underlined word “insulted” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to           .
A．treated warmlyB．paid no attention to
C．had mercy onD．said something rude about
小題3:What do we know about Elizabeth and Darcy?
A．They’ve experienced ups and downs but get married in the end.
B．They both come from poor families and wish to marry rich.
C．They get separated from each other shortly after being married.
D．Darcy falls over and gets hurt but Elizabeth still loves him.
小題4:According to the passage, Pride and Prejudice _________.
A．was first published in 1813 and sold 20 million copies soon
B．tells a sad love story which moves generations of readers
C．inspired many other novels and many plays have been produced based on it.
D．is set at the turn of the 19th century and not well received worldwide

Say sorry to your wife---it may help her live longer, according to scientists.
“Sorry” may be the hardest word, but scientists say it could be one of the healthiest. Researchers have discovered that women who receive an apology for hurtful behavior suffer less stress and possible damage to their heart than those who don’t.
It is said that the heartbeat of a wronged woman returns to normal 20 percent quicker after a well-timed “sorry” than without it. But for men, their heartbeat takes longer to recover, according to the research.
The research was undertaken by American scientists using 29 men and 59  women whose diastolic blood pressure was measured throughout an experiment. Diastolic blood pressure
is a measure of pressure in the blood vessels( 血管 ) between heartbeats---if it is continuously high it can increase the chances of heart attacks.
The men and women were asked to undertake a difficult mathematical task. They were told they had five minutes to complete it but were disturbed after a minute and told rudely to carry out the task more quickly. They were disturbed twice more before five minutes had passed and told to speed up. Finally they were told, “ You’re obviously not good enough.” Two minutes later researchers said sorry to half of the men and women.
The researchers found that, on average, the women’s diastolic blood pressure dropped back to normal 20 percent---quicker if they received an apology from the researchers, while the men’s took 20 percent longer to return to normal. One of the researchers said, “Results indicates that the effects of apology and forgiveness on women are greater.”
小題1:The term “sorry” is considered as one of the healthiest words because it _________.
A．is the most powerful
B．can cure heart disease
C．helps people forget hurtful behavior
D．can reduce pressure and damage to the heart
小題2:We can know from Paragraph 3 _________.
A．women’s hearts beat faster than men’s
B．women are quicker at making apologies
C．men can forgive others’mistakes more easily than women
D．men stay angry for a longer time than women after receiving an apology
小題3:Which of the following is the RIGHT time order for events in the study?
a. Half of them received apologies.
b. They were disturbed a minute later.
c. They were told that they weren’t good enough.
d. They were asked to finish a math task in five minutes.
e. They were disturbed two more times during the study.
A．d-b-c-e-a B．d-c-b-a-e C．d-b-e-c-aD．d-c-b-e-a
小題4:The research confirmed (證實) that _________.
A．men are unwilling to apologize to others for their mistakes
B．men’s chances of getting heart attacks are higher than women’s
C．women can benefit more from receiving apologies than men
D．people can also get healthy benefits from giving apologies

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book  26  hand. Of course, we may  27  with our guide-books the history and  28  developments of a town and get to know them.
 29  then, if we take our time and  30  in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we  31  it as a whole, we begin to have some  32 , which even the best guide-books do not

Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of discomfort. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(著裝)—and the people with whom he or she works.
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very strict standards for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary. Like it or not, you will be judged by your appearance.
This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等級) down from what you would normally wear on business-professional attire days.
Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When you’re in doubt, it’s safe to be on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to dress properly in a business setting.
B．How to choose appropriate attire.
C．Appropriate attire will make a big difference
D．Improper dress will make a person uncomfortable.
小題2:Which statement best describes “dress-down days”?
A．You can wear whatever you like.
B．People are usually more careful about dressing.
C．We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes.
D．People’s clothes don’t receive much attention.
小題3:Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage about business dress?
A．Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for an occasion.
B．Think about how others will dress if invited to a dinner.
C．For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.
D．Ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.

If you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．
I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．
1．Do less
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．
2．Have fewer meetings
Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．
3．Give yourself time to get ready and get there
If you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．
4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing
When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．
5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．
There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on．
Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．
Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．
小題1:Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．How not to hurry in our life?
B． How to give out our life?
C．What to do with our life?
D．How to change our life?
小題2:If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend, ______．
A．you don't have to put on makeup
B．you'd better squeeze about 35 minutes out for it
C．you should arrange 10 minutes for it
D．you should rush there
小題3:According to the passage, we can know_______．
A．even if we do as we're told by the author, we can't change anything
B．if we follow the author's advice, our life will be better
C．we should try to do all the things better on our task list
D．there's always tomorrow, so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow
小題4:The underlined word "collapse" has the similar meaning to "______"．
A．develop rapidlyB．pay enough
C．fail completelyD．drop suddenly
