17、lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. 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 , slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stop

18、ped and 40 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started 41 at us. My taxi driver just 42 and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was 43, so I said，Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to t

19、he hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call The Law of the Garbage Truck.He said, “ 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 someti

20、mes theyll dump it on 46 . Dont take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. Youll be 47 .”So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 48 it to other people at work, at home, or on the street?

21、 It was then that I said, “I dont want their garbage and Im not going to spread it anymore.”Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with 49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on whats 50 in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University

22、，found in his extensive research that you _51 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you _52 them more frequently. So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who dont. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how y

23、ou _53 it！The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but when you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life.

30、tion hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy.In addition, a great incentive for mums considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution.

Basically the governments Scholarships for Moms program is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers who are keen on study back i

32、nto the classroom.With the Obama scholarship, the worry of returning to school is removed. In almost any area of interest, working moms can earn a degree.

56、ries C. introduce some childrens books D. show us prices of some books D“Reduce, reuse and recycle”, this popular environmental slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills.The slogan is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of electronic junk, such as

57、old computers, cellphones, and televisions. But this process of managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous way more often than not, a recent report suggests.“Many of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse for reuse-to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutie

58、rrez, a policy researcher.One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along

59、rivers and roads. Often its taken apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.Tradesmen also pay workers a little money to get materials back such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to ma

60、ny dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse for recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take on some of the responsibility themselves,”

61、Gutierrez said. But he added, “a greater part of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”China, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese governm

64、mainly be responsible for the e- waste problem B. neither developed nor developing countries should be blamed for the e-waste problem C. developing countries should mainly be responsible for the e-waste problem D. developing countries should not be blamed for the e-waste problem74.
