Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life lesson in the back of a New York City taxi.

I was on my way to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right lane when a black car suddenly sped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My driver fit the brakes hard, skidded, and missed the other car by a few inches. The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him. He was really friendly!

“Why did you just do that?” I asked him. “This guy almost destroyed your car and could have sent us to the hospital!”

This was when my taxi driver told me what I now call “the Law of Garbage Trucks”.

“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment,” he said. “As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them do, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, just smile, wave, wish them will, and move on. You’ll be happier because of what you have done.”

I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people—at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said, “I’m not going to dump anymore.”

1.What happened when the writer was taking a taxi?

A. He saw a car accident.　　 B. Someone destroyed the taxi.

C. The taxi driver was injured.　　 D. Another car almost hit the taxi.

2.How did the taxi driver deal with the other driver’s behavior?

A. He shouted back at the driver.

B. He sent the driver to the hospital.

C. He was friendly towards the driver.

D. He dumped some garbage in front of his car.

3.What does the taxi driver mean when he says “Many people are like garbage trucks”?

A. Many people like to drive garbage trucks.

B. Many people dump garbage wherever they like.

C. Many people are warm-hearted and make others happy.

D. Many people need to dump their feelings now and then.

4.According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you?

A. Dump your garbage on him or her, too.

B. Be friendly and go on with your own work.

C. Tell them to dump their garbage in the right place.

D. Try your best to encourage them not to do that again.

It's 51 years since man first stepped on the moon, and were still dreaming of escaping life on Earth for the mysteries of space. If a career as an astronaut isn’t interesting for you, perhaps the promise of a stay in a space hotel might be attractive.

Californian company The Gateway Foundation has released plans for the Von Braun Station, a ship-style hotel floating among the stars. The aim is to get the hotel off the ground by 2025 and make it fully operational for travel by 2027. According to the video and images released by the Gateway Foundation, the station looks like a rotating(旋转)wheel, made up of 24 parts, circling the Earth. Tim Alatorre, senior designer at the Gateway Foundation, says the wheel can create a simulated(模仿的) gravity.

The Gateway Foundation’s hotel design is named for Wernher Von Braun, an aerospace engineer who pioneered rocket technology, first in Germany and later in the United States.

Space tourism is an expensive game-a stay in its space hotel will cost $9. 5 million. The Von Braun Station will sleep 352 people with a maximum capacity of 450.

So what will Von Braun Station be like inside? On board. there’ll be warm suites with carpets and stylish touches and bars that wouldn't look out of place back on Earth, just with star -observing views. There will also be plenty of fun amusement activities for guest to enjoy, says Alatorre. “We’re going to have a number of different amusement activities and games that’ll highlight the fact that you're able to do things that you can’t do on Earth,” he says. “Because of the weightlessness and the reduced gravity, you’ll be able to jump higher, be able to lift things, be able to run in ways that you can't on Earth.”

Given the design is still exactly that just a design there are some questions that remain unanswered about how the space hotel will work in reality. The construction on the Gateway Foundations project is set to begin on October 1, 2021.

1.What can we know about the new hotel according to the second paragraph?

A.It will be put into use by the year of 2025.

B.There will be no gravity in the new hotel.

C.The first customers of the hotel are astronauts.

D.The wheel-like hotel will go around the earth.

2.Why is the new hotel called Von Braun Station?

A.Because is named after the designer of the hotel.

B.Because it is in honor of a great space engineer.

C.Because it is the first space hotel in the world.

D.Because it is the symbol of international cooperation.

3.Which of the following best describes the inside of the hotel?

A.Surprising and risky. B.Creative but uncomfortable

C.Funny and creative D.Interesting and fancy.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.The construction of the hotel has started.

B.The project on the earth will be finished by 2021.

C.There are some problems which need to be solved.

D.Some people question whether the hotel should be built.

It was my first year of teaching. I was young and inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.

After a particularly long night of grading papers and thinking about how many weeks I'd left until I could breathe, I had one of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids. Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself anymore. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own.

That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in — the cool basketball-playing country boy who had accidentally broken my favorite snow globe so that I couldn't display nice things in my classroom. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He'd stuck a bird feather in it.

''I got you a Mother's Day gift,'' he said in a low voice. Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Day had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared.

Made nervous by my silence, he said, ''You know…since you're like a mother to us, I thought you should get a present, too.''

I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the entire world, and that I just loved it. Based on his smile, I knew I'd done enough work of making him feel quite proud of himself. What made that twelve-year-old bring me a homemade present? I'll never know. Once he left the room, I locked the door. And I cried. That moment helped me get through the rest of the school years.

1.What did the author think of her job as a teacher at the beginning?

A.Interesting. B.Tiring.

C.Rewarding. D.Demanding.

2.How did the boy feel when he gave his teacher the present?

A.Excited. B.Shocked.

C.Unwilling. D.Shy.

3.How did the author react when she was given the flower?

A.She was moved to tears.

B.She didn't accept the present.

C.She was too surprised to say anything.

D.She stared at the boy in puzzlement.

4.Which of the following encourages the author to continue teaching?

A.The sincere love from students.

B.Her positive attitude to life.

C.Her strong interest in teaching.

D.The achievements in her work.

I became a teacher at 55 years of age. Things were going on so well during my first two periods. Then came my 3rd period class – the 8th graders with only one girl in the class. I thought the class was bad until the intercom(内部通话系统) came on and the office was asking if I was in my classroom. “Of course,” I responded. A student who knew he was going to be late for class had informed the office I was not in my classroom – 10 minutes after class began.

When the student came in and I walked over to greet him, he said, “Don’t touch me.” He then put his head on his desk and did not seem to listen to a word I said. I did not comfront(使面对) him with the “lie” to the office.

The next day he came into class on time. This time instead of listening or following instructions on keyboarding software, he played Internet games. I walked over to him. He looked at me ready to snap back(没好气地顶撞) at anything I said. I asked him, “Where did you learn to use a computer like that?” he looked at me surprised. I repeated, “You are really good at that. Where did you learn so much?” He began to tell me his father “used to” buy him games to play, but not anymore. I could feel the pain. Instead of blaming him for being off task, I surprised him and praised him for his skills. Then, I asked him to show me what he could do in our software. He was amazed.

On a Friday night at a high school football game, I really got my breakthrough(突破). From about five feet away, in front of his friends he came over to me and gave me a big hug saying, “Hi, Ms. Marie.” We talked for a while and before he walked away, he had hugged me two more times. This was a long way from “don’t touch me” on that first day.

1.How did the boy react(反应) towards Ms. Marie’s greeting on the first day?

A. Gratefully.　　 　 B. Coldly.

C. Respectfully.　　　 D. Amazedly.

2.From the dialogue between Ms. Marie and the boy in Paragraph 3, we can infer that _____.

A. the boy was impatient with Ms. Marie’s interruption

B. the boy was proud to show how to play games

C. Ms. Marie was curious about the boy’s father

D. Ms. Marie felt sorry for the boy

3.By saying “I really got my breakthrough”, Ms. Marie meant _____.

A. she finally learned to play games

B. she won the boy’s trust in the end

C. she scored at the football game

D. she made great achievements in teaching
