How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new dresses? You may try to follow trends in Western countries,but your peers(同龄人)in the United States don't care as much about fashion(时尚)as you do.
A recent survey among high school students in China,Japan,South Korea and the US found that Asian teenagers care more about their looks than young people in the US.
This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned about their view on life and the world.
South Koreans, at 83 percent, cared most about their appearance. They were followed by the Chinese and Japanese while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 percent.
“The different results show differences of cultural background,” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre.

US teenagers’ high self-confidence is showed in survey. About 85 percent are happy with themselves. The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 percent.
Strong ambition( 雄心) is seen in Chinese high schools. Only two in five high school students are satisfied with “an average living”. Koreans are next at 48 percent,Japanese come in at 66 percent and Americans are at 71.
“According to the survey,Chinese students are happy. But Chinese students need to be more independent and learn how to relax.”said Sun.

How often do you let other people like a bad driver, a rude waiter, or an angry boss, change your mood?
Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson. I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes, the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.
I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started shouting at us. I couldn’t believe it!
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.”
So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.
I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
1.What happened to the author on his way to Grand Central Station?
A. He was caught in a traffic jam. B. He had a fight with his taxi driver.
C. His taxi almost ran into another car. D. His taxi suddenly got a flat tire.
2.When the author saw his taxi driver smile and wave at the driver of the black car, he______.
A. got very angry B. was deeply impressed
C. felt quite disappointed D. praised him for his manners
3.The underlined part “the load” in the last paragraph probably refers to _______.
A. the bad mood B. poor habits
C. waste materials D. great pressure
4.How did the author learn to deal with Garbage Trucks?_______
A. Fight back immediately. B. Call the police for help.
C. Dump it on someone else. D. Smile and move on.
