And I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Heres what happened.

7、I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane (车道) 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 (车闸), the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just

8、one inch (英寸) from the back of the other car. I couldnt believe it. But then I couldnt 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 yelling bad words at us. I couldnt believe it! And this is when my taxi driv

9、er told me what I now call: “The Law of the Garbage Truck (垃圾车).” He said:But then heres what really blew me away. 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! “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garb

10、age, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump (倾倒) it. And if you let them, theyll dump it on you.“So one day when someone wants to dump on you, dont take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Bel

11、ieve me. Youll be happier.” So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said: “I dont want their garbage and Im not going to spread it anymore.”

12、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 dont take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.25.What happened to the author on his way to Grand Central Station? A. He was caught in a traffic jam

15、diately. B. Smile and move on. C. Call the police for help. D. Dump it on someone elseCWhen it comes to problem solving, many of us have heard of the skills of the crow (乌鸦) in Aesops Fables (伊索寓言). In the story, a thirsty crow comes across a bottle of water, but the water level (水平面) is out of its

16、reach. The bird then drops small stones into it until the water level rises enough for the bird to drink. “Oh, its just a fable,” you may think. After all, its hard to imagine birds knowing about “problem solving”. But new research has found that crows brains may sometimes be better than those of 6-

17、year-old children. In a recent experiment, US scientist Corina Logan and her team caught six crows to test them. There were two tubes (试管) of water, one wide and the other narrow (窄的). Each crow was given four stones, enough to help them get the water in the narrow tube, but not the wide one. Surpri

18、singly, the crows dropped all or most of the stones into the narrower tube and got the food reward! They had found out the cause-and-effect relationship.Using such brains, crows are making their lives easier. For example, some crows in cities have learned to use road traffic for breaking nuts, Natio

19、nal Geographic News reported. But how are their wits (智力) compared to humans? Logans team did another experiment, this time on both crows and children. Here, the crows and children had to choose between two sets of tubes. With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level

20、raised in a connected narrow tube that contained food. The blue set of tubes, however, had no connection between them. So dropping a stone in the wide tube did not cause the water level to rise in the narrow tube. Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, fail

21、ed. Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6-month-old crow, passed it. She put all or most of the stones into the red tube. So, could a bird be more clever than a kindergartner? Dont be too quick to say no.29.Why is Aesops Fables mentioned in the beginning of the article? A. To introdu

22、ce the idea that crows are smart. B. To show that fables about crows are wrong. C. To explain why crows can solve problems. D. To prove that crows can be better than babies at problem solving.30. What have Logans team found out from their recent experiments? A. Crows prefer to get their food reward

23、from wider tubes. B. Crows are able to understand or learn cause and effect relationships. C. Crows can easily recognize the tubes with a food reward inside. D. Some crows even make use of road traffic to help them break nuts.31. What can we learn from the experiment on crows and children? A. Five o

24、f the six crows threw stones into the red tube. B. Children aged 6 did better than children aged 4. C. One crow passed the test while the younger children didnt. D. Some crows proved to be more clever than children aged 10.D More and more people are taking their iPads to bed with them to surf the we

25、b, check facebook or send e-mails before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blue light their screens give off can stop users getting a good nights sleep.

28、mputer or television screen.Researchers are warning that looking at iPad displays for more than two hours leads to lower natural melatonin levels as the devices give off blue light.
