And I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here ,s what happened.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 one inch (英寸)from the back of the other car.I couldn' t believe it. But then I couldn" t believe what happcncd 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 couldn , t believe it!And this is when my taxi driver told me what T now cal 1: "The Law of the Garbage Truck (垃圾车).” lie said: But then here' s 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 garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, andfull of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump (倾倒)it. And if you let them, they" 11 dump it on you. "So one day when someone wants to dump on you, don" t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You , 11 be happier. ”So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do 1 take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said:“I don,t want their garbage and I' m not going to spread it anymore. ” I began to sec Garbage Trucks. I see the load people arc carrying.I see them coming to clump it. And like my taxi driver, I don" t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.25. What happened to the eiuthor on his way to Grand Central Station?A.

Dump it on someone elseWhen it comes to problem solving, many of us have heard of the ski 1 Is of the crow (乌鸦)in Aesop' s 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 reach. The bird then drops small stones into it unt 订 the water level rises enough for the bird to drink.“Oh, it' s just a fable, ” you may think. After al L it ,s hard to imagine birds knowing about “problem solving" •But new research has found that crows' brains may sometimes be better than those of 6-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 n arrow (窄 的).Each crow was give n four sto ncs ,eno ugh to help them get the water in the narrow tube, but not the wide one. Surprisingly, 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, National Geographic News reported.But how are their wits (智力)compared to humans? Logan" s team did another experiment, this time on both crows and children.Here, the crows and children had to choose bet ween two sets of tu bes. With the red set, when they dropped a stone into a wide tube, the water level 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 1evel to rise in the narrow tube.Children aged 7 to 10 were able to learn the rule. Children aged 4 to 6, however, failed.Five of the six crows failed the test. But Kitty, a 6~month-old crow, passed it. She A. The author used to haveB- The author used to be a C. The author used to haveParagraph 6? a lot of garbage trucks, good managcr-a lot of money. 26. When the author saw his taxi driver smile and wave at the driver 27. What can we infer fromput all or most of the stones into the red tube.So, could a bird be more clever than a kindergartnet? Don" t be too quick to say no.29.Why is Aesop' s Fables mentioned in the beg inning of the arti clc?A.To introduce 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 Logan' s team found out from their rcccnt experiments?A.Crows prefer to get their food reward 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 of 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 didt.D.Some crows proved to be more clever than children aged 10-More and more people are taking their iPads to bed with them to surf the web, check facebook or send e-mails before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blue 1ight their screens give off can stop users getting a good night‘ s sleep. That is because this type of light is similar to daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light prevents the production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall asleep. By contrast, light which is more orange or red does not prevent melatonin production, perhaps because our bra ins rccog nizc it as a cue that the day ends. Scientists have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can affect sleep they are television screens, computer screens or mobile phone screens. However, because mobiles and iPads are by nature portable ---------------------- n ot to say addictive -------- more people are taking them into the bedroom. Users also tend to hold them much closer to their eyes than a computer 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. They say, "Turning off the devices at night is the final solution. But if you have to use these devices at night, dim the display to cut down irritation of the eyes and limit the time you spend on them before bed. ”They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics(应用人类工程学)that iPad makers shoul d adjust the spectral power dis trib ution (光谱功率分布)of the devices so that they affect the sleep pat terns of users less.It is not just a good night,s sleep that could be harmed by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that long-tenn harm to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity and even cancers.32.Blue light prevents iPad users from sleeping well because ______________ .A.it is the same as daylight which keeps people awakeB.it makes the brain more activeC.it is brighter than light that is more orange or redD.it can help decrease the production of melatonin33.The underlined phrase “dim the display v means ______________ .A.keep away from the displayB.make the display less brightC.clean the display carefullyD.turn off the display34.In the last paragraph, the author intends to ____________ •A.warn of the seriousness of long-term poor sleepB.call on researchers to study sleep pattcrnsC.show the danger of obesity and cancersD.show how sleep is harmed by using iPads too much35.What s the main idea of the passage?A.Scientists are warning that blue light is bad for our hea1th.B.People should limit the use of electronic devicesing iPads before bed can cause a poor night" s sleep.D.Looking at screens of iPads increase chances of sleeplessness.姓名: __________ 班级:考号:考场座号:密封线第II卷(共60分)三、短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)36.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
