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．

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
　　If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
　　Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
　　Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
　　These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
　　But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
小題1:According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_______”.
A．You have good reason to get upset
B．I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
C．I apologize for hurting your feelings
D．I’m at fault for making you upset
小題2:We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _______.
A．the complexities involved should be ignored
B．their ages should be taken into account
C．parents need to set them a good example
D．parents should be patient and tolerant
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is _______.
A．a(chǎn) social issue calling for immediate attention
B．not necessary among family members
C．a(chǎn) sign of social progress
D．not as simple as it seems

Sometimes teens (十幾歲的少年) need to have some time away from their families. They may want to move out of the family or home for a while.
Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea to let your teens live with a friend or a relative. “It was the break I needed at the time,” said Richard Lerne. He is talking about the time he spent living with his grandmother when he was 15. “It allowed me to be a more different person than I was with my parents.” Lerne said. He now heads the Institute for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University.
Experts say teens living away from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new ways to problems. Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for a while with a relative or with the family of a friend.
If there is conflict (沖突) at home, having a teen live elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the late ten years has become the norm (準則) only in recent times. “In the 17th century, children were often sent to live in other people’s home when they were about 10 or 11”, he said.
Peter Sheras teaches education at the University of Virginia. He says parents should listen when a child wants to move out. They should try to find out why the child wants some time away.
小題1:According to this passage, many parents may think it _____ for their children to live away from them.
A．rightB．happyC．unsafeD．reasonable
小題2:When children seriously disagree with their parents, experts suggest that parents should ______.
A．punish them

A．builtB．stuckC．organizedD．drunk

Agatha Christie went out at night．She never forgot the night when she met a robber many years ago．
That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until 2 o’clock in the morning．Agatha walked in the quiet street alone． Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her． “Good morning, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don't think you wish to die here!”
“What do you want?” Agatha asked．
“Your earrings(耳環(huán))． Take them off!”
Agatha suddenly had a bright idea． She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣領 ) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings and then she quickly threw them on the ground．
“Take them and let me go,” she said． The robber saw that the girl didn’t care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace． He thought the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace．”
“Oh, sir． It’s not worth much． Please let me keep it．”
“Stopping rubbish(廢話)． Quick!”
With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace． As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends．

Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap．Some call it the summer learning setback．Simply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of 'school，the more they forget．The only thing they might gain is weight.
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation．Some schools follow a year-round calendar．They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between．The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count．They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school．Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said，“Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback．They simply spread it out across the year.
Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students．Experts say this can be prevented．They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
But calling them “summer school” could be a problem．The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood．The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp,” “extra time” and “hands-on learning.”
小題1:According to the first paragraph，the summer learning gap ____
A．helps children to gain weight
B．leads children to work harder
C．improves children's memories
D．a(chǎn)ffects children's regular studies
小題2:Compared to traditional schools，students in the year-round ones _____
A．perform better and have more learning gains
B．have much less time for relaxation every year
C．have generally the same number of class days
D．hold more classes with more free weeks off
小題3:Which of the following statements is true?
A．Students from poor families often fall behind after the vocation.
B．Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.
C．There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar．
D．Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation.
小題4:Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?
A．They cherish the children's rights of freedom very much.
B．They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”．
C．They want their children to be forced to make up the gap.
D．They can't afford to the further study during the vacation.
小題5:What would be the best title of this passage?
A．Opening Summer Camps
B．Forbidding Summer Schools
C．Spreading Year-Round Education
D．Minding the Summer Learning Cap
