How often do you let other people like a...

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.C 2.B 3.A 4.D 【解析】试题分析:本文叙述了作者乘坐出租车时发生的事情,通过出租车司机的一番话,阐明一个道理:记住美好的,忘却不愉快的,专注重要的;对待生活的态度决定生活的状态 1. 2. 3. 4. 【名师点睛】 猜词悟义。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”,通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的,都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义,是阅读过程中的一大关键,最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。 ①抓住所需推断词汇前后的“mean”或系动词或破折号等直接定义该词的部分。 ②抓住文章主旨与该段所表达的中心。特别对于议论文要牢记论点与论据的相互支撑关系。 ③通过例证、比喻、对照、插入语等语法结构推断词义。 比如第23小题A猜测词义题。根据 I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. 就像我的出租车司机,我不把这些放在心上。由整片文章推断可知是指不好的情绪,故选C。 考点:生活类短文阅读
