One day I jumped into a taxi and took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane 36 suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space 37 in front of us. My taxi driver immediately put his foot on the 38 . The taxi slid a short distance quickly and 39 the other car by just inches! The driver of the black car moved his head around and started 40 at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy; and I mean he was 41 friendly, which is truly beyond my expectation.
42 I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost 43 your car
and sent us to the 44 !” This is when my taxi driver 45 me what I now call “the Law of the Garbage Truck.”
He 46 that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, disappointment, frustration (挫敗感) and 47 . As their garbage 48 , they need a place to dump (丟棄) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 49 . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move 50 . Don’t take it 51 . Don’t take their garbage and 52 it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.
The 53 line is that successful people don’t let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 54 , so “Love the people who treat you 55 . Pray for the ones who don’t”.

One day I heard that one of my dear friends had lost his mother. This made me sad, for my friend was very close to his mother. He had been by her side as she traveled through her long and hard journey with cancer. At this time, many memories about my loved ones that had passed away came flooding to me. Finally these memories passed, but it was really sad to think that my friend would have to go through the pain.

科目：高中英語 來源：2007年高考浙江卷英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
I began working in journalism(新聞工作) when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to“make something”of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell,my boy?”my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God,Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in,“Well,I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分鎳幣).It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence(自信),and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
