One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane（車道）when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire（輪胎） made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I was frightened. 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 and started yelling at us. I couldn’t believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital.”

This is when my taxi driver taught my what I now call, “The Law of the Rubbush Truck（垃圾車法則）.” He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger and full of bad feelings. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they’ll throw it at you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray（祈禱）for those who don’t.

1.Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?

A. The writer went to the airport by taxi that day.

B. The taxi driver stopped his car in time.

C. The black car jumped out and crashed into the taxi.

D. A car accident nearly happened on the writer’s way to the airport.

2.The underlined word yelling in the second paragraph means in Chinese.

A. 道歉 B. 傻笑 C. 吼叫 D. 告別

3.Why did the guy get angry so easily?

A. Because he was in a bad mood.

B. Because his car was full of rubbish.

C. Because he was badly hurt by the taxi.

D. Because the taxi driver didn’t say sorry to him.

4.From the passage, we can tell that the taxi driver is _______.

A. silly and dishonest B. wise and friendly

C. helpful but nervous D. modest but impatient

5.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Fight with people like rubbish trucks.

B. Make friends with people like rubbish trucks.

C. Have a quarrel with people like rubbish trucks.

D. Don’t let rubbish trucks change our moods.

Whether we are going to school or going to work, we are all sad to leave the weekend behind and go back to our Monday morning blues. But with the tips, you can get over those blues and face Monday mornings with a smile.

    Love what you do. If you love what you do, then you won't fear Monday mornings as much. Loving your job will make you look forward to the week ahead. Try to find something positive (積極的) in your workplace. It could be a friend, a partner, or the work you do in general. The important thing is to keep a positive attitude (態(tài)度) at work.

    Do what gives you feelings of comfort, while remembering your responsibilities for the day. This will help you cheer yourself up for the day ahead. If the clock rings and you still feel sleepy, stay in for five minutes. However, don't stay past five minutes, as it will only make you feel even lazier for your day. When you get up, make a cup of coffee and put on some music. This will help you feel energetic.

    Try to give yourself a little something extra. A good reward for Monday would be a treat you wouldn't have the rest of the week. On Fridays, plan a night out for films or dinner. This will give you a little break from the rest of the week. This way, you will know that even if you're working hard, you will have something good waiting for you at the end of the week.

    On Sunday night, go to bed early. Your mind will react (反應(yīng)) quickly on Monday morning. If you wake up early, you will have more time to get ready for the day. Being stressed during Monday mornings is only going to add to your blues.

    Get yourself organized on Friday evening. Before you leave your workplace on Friday, you should take care of all the things you need to, so you won't be so stressed on Monday morning. This way, you can start the week right.

Follow these simple tips and you will be able to beat those Monday morning blues soon.

Have you ever heard of e-waste, which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市礦藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic（有毒的）chemicals can get into the earth or air, affecting the environment and people’s health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

1.The following can become e-waste EXCEPT_____.

A. computers B. mobile phones C. plastic bags D. MP4 players

2.Which country produced most e-waste last year according to the United Nations?

A. America. B. China. C. Japan. D. the UK

3.What does the underline word “affecting” mean in this passage?

A. protecting B. influencing C. improving D. changing

4.From Paragraph 4, we learn that_____.

A. the recycle Apple products will be sold at higher prices.

B. buying longer lasting electronic products is a good way to reduce e-waste.

C. it’s better to keep the unwanted electronics in your bedroom.

D. Used electric products can’t be recycled.

5.The main purpose of this passage is to_____.

A. prove that e-waste is useless.

B. encourage people to buy more electronic products.

C. advise people to deal with e-waste properly to reduce pollution.
