How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? The mark of a successful person is how   36  he can get back his focus on what is important.
Two years ago I gained the knowledge about the Law of the Garbage Truck. I   37  it in a taxi. I got on a taxi, and we headed for Grand Central Station. We were  38 in the right lane(行车道) when   39 a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brakes(刹车)heavily, and    40  the car’s back end by just inches!
The driver almost caused a(n)   41 , saying bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy  42   . So, I said, “This guy almost   43  your car and sent us to the   44  !” On the way to the Grand Central Station, my taxi driver told me what I now   45  “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”
“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of   46  , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage becomes more, they needed a(n)   47 to dump(扔) it. When someone wants to dump it on you, don’t   48  it. You just smile, wish them well, and focus on important things quickly.
Good leaders know they have to be  49 for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Good  50 and parents know what is   51 for them. The bottom line is that   52 people do not let garbage Trucks take over their day.
Life is too   53 to wake up in the morning with  54 , so take your time and love the people who treat you right.  55 about the ones who don’t. Don’t be regretful for your life.

  When you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?
A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers---free of charge--- for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet.
Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and they’ll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.”
The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.”
In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.
小题1: The best title for the passage is __________.
A.Question Box ----taking the place of the Internet
B.Needing an answer? ----asking Question Box
C.Question Box ----A great invention in the world
D.Rose Shuman----- A professor helping the poor
小题2: In Rose Schuman’s opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box is that______.
A.It is the most advanced in the world
B.It is more convenient to carry.
C.It is much easier to use
D.it saves much more energy
小题3:The underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to______.
A.the usersB.the operators
C.the researchersD.Question Box workers
小题4:What can we know from the passage?
A.Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.
B.Question Box operators can look for information in any language.
C.Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas.
D.Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.

Sure, human dads can play games with their kids and help with homework, but can they give birth? Daddy sea horses can! This Father’s Day, while you’re praising your daddy, you may also remember that some of the best dads in the world can be found in the animal kingdom:
Sea horses: The “Mr. Moms” in the sea, male sea horses, carry up to 2,000 fertilized eggs in small bags in their stomachs until they hatch. Even after the babies are born, they stay inside the bag until they are ready to live by themselves.
Darwin’s rheas: Thought your dad was overprotective? Darwin’s rheas, also known as South American ostriches (鸵鸟), are so protective of their children that they have even been known to attack small airplanes on the ground if they get too close to their home!
Marmosets: These little monkeys do everything but give lectures on how to give birth! Devoted dads assist during their babies’ birth. They also let Mom get some rest by taking care of the kids when she’s not nursing them.
Sand grouse: These pigeon-like birds live in areas where water is rare, so fathers fly as many as 50 miles to get water for their kids. After they dip their breast feathers in the water, they fly home and let their chicks suck the water from their bodies.
Fathers in the animal kingdom are not that different from our own beloved dads. This Father’s Day, when you are honoring your dad, honor animal dads, too, by practicing kindness toward all animals.

Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simple because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s hastily made table as “Perfect!” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to shift(转移)blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure prevention is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort, prize or say “It doesn’t matter.” because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grownups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did it fail? Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring. Success, which encourages repetition of old behaviour, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can cause fresh thinking, a change of direction. After twelve years of studying ballet, a friend of mine applied for a professional company. She asked. That ballet master shook his head. “You will never be a dancer,” he said,” you haven’t the body for it.”
In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock bravely asking “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there’s less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy — a way to find new possibilities.
小题1:The first paragraph tells us ______.
A.failure is very natural for every person
B.the reason why we don’t know how to fail
C.the reason why so many people are afraid of failure
D.one should be ready to face failure at any time
小题2:How many preventions may parents use when a child fails according to the passage?
A.only twoB.no more than threeC.less than threeD.more than three
小题3: Which statement below does the writer support?
A.Failure is as good an experience as success.
B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.Failure is far from a good teacher like success.
D.Definitive failure gives us nothing but fresh thinking.
小题4: We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A.failure is the recovery of energy
B.failure makes one free to do something dangerous
C.failure should be forgotten in our life
D.failure is likely to do us good in life
