How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee 16 your day?

My taxi driver slammed on his 19 , slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and 20 the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started 21 at us.
My taxi driver just 22 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 23 . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 24 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 25 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 26 . Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be 27 . Don’t take their garbage and 28 it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 29 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 30 in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you 31 bad things more often than good things in your life, You store the bad memories mare easily, and you 32 them more frequently.
So…Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 33 it！
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项，并标在答题卷的相应位置。
A
It was a cold night in September. The rain was drumming on the car roof as George and Marie Winston drove through the empty country roads towards the house of their friends, the Harrisons, where they were going to attend a party to celebrate the engagement of the Harrisons’ daughter, Lisa. As they drove, they listened to the local radio station, which was playing classical music.
They were about five miles from the Harrison’s house when the music on the radio was interrupted by a news announcement: “The Cheshire police have issued a serious warning after a man escaped from Colford Mental Hospital earlier this evening. The man, John Downey, is a murderer who killed six people before he was captured two years ago. He is described as large, very strong and extremely dangerous. People in the Cheshire’ area are warned to keep their doors and windows locked, and to call the police immediately if they see anyone acting strangely.”
Marie shivered. “A crazy killer. And he’s out there somewhere. That’s frightening.”
“Don’t worry about it,” said her husband. “We’re nearly there now. Anyway, we have more important things to worry about. This car is losing power for some reason – it must be that old problem with the engine. If it gets any worse, we’ll have to stay at the Harrisons’ tonight and get it fixed before we travel back tomorrow.”
As he spoke, the car began to slow down. Finally they rolled to a halt, as the engine died completely. Just as they stopped, George pulled the car off the road, and it came to rest under a large tree, “Blast!” said George angrily. “Now we’ll have to walk in the rain.”
“But that’ll take us an hour at least,” said Marie, “And I have my highheeled shoes and my nice clothes on. They’ll be ruined!”
“Well, you’ll have to wait while I run to the nearest house and call the Harrisons. Someone can come out and pick us up,” said George.
“But George! Have you forgotten what the radio said? There’s Homicideal maniac out there! You can’t leave me alone here!”
“You’ll have to hide in the back of the car. Lock all the doors and lie on the floor in the back, under this blanket. No one will see you. When I come back, I’ll knock three times on the door. Then you can get up and open it. Don’t open it unless you hear three knocks,” George opened the door and, slipped out into the rain. He quickly disappeared into the blackness.
Very tired, she fell asleep. Hours later, she heard the sound of three or four vehicles, racing quickly down the road. All of them pulled up around her, their tired screeching on the road. At last! Someone had come! Marie sat up quickly and looked out of the window.
The three vehicles were all police cars. Several policemen leapt out. One of them rushed towards the car as Marie opened the door. He took her by the hand.
“Get out of the car and walk with me to the police vehicle. Miss! You’re safe now. Look straight ahead. Keep looking at the police car. Don’t look back. Just don’t look back.”
Something in the way he spoke filled Marie with cold horror. She could not help herself. About ten yards from the police car, she stopped, turned and looked back at the empty vehicle.
George was hanging from the tree above the car, a rope tied around his neck.
36. Where were the Winstons going before this incident happened?

The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems，and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghaibased Wenhui Daily reported.
The World Health Organization estimated that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent，and mental problem will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing municipal health bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems.
If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crime, drugtaking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the onechild policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in onechild families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing, Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
39. What is the purpose of the passage？
A. To give the details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.
B. To urge awareness on mental health of the young.
C. To recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help solve the mental problems among the youth.
D. To show us the causes of the mental problems among students.
40. The underlined word “addressed” in the fifth paragraph most probably means_______.
A. talked aboutB. satisfiedC. dealt withD. introduced
41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？
A. Many schools have realized the problem and taken measures.
B. Mental problems mainly appear among the youth while they are seldom seen among adults.
C. By 2020, about 50 percent of the students in China will have mental problems.
D. China has the largest number of youngsters with psychological problems.
42. We can infer that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, _______.
A. psychologist must be a necessary part of school

Two people sit down opposite each other to play a game called Go (围棋). One of the players is an old man, He is now 89 years old. He had been playing Go since he was a small child. He is now the most famous player of Go in the world. People from all over the world call him “the Master”. The Master thinks that the game of Go is an art, and he thinks that he is an artist.
His opponent is a young woman. They young woman has only been playing Go for three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. She played to win. She thought of the game as a science. She calculate all the possible variations, using a computer to analyze techniques and strategies. She became a human computer when she played. She played Go the same way she had played computer games—by becoming a machine herself.
“When! Was your age, it would have been impossible for us to play together,” he says to her. They speak very little during the game.
“Why?” she asks.
“Young lady, you have not studied the history of this game. In the past, women did not play Go.” There is silence again. She might be irritated by the old man’s comment, but now she is playing Go, and so she feels no emotions. Her mind is not listening to the man, but calculating all the possible way of placing her next stone. The old man, on the movements of her hands and of her face. This is not only because he thinks that she is very beautiful, it is also because by understanding a person he knows how they will play. When he understands how a person moves, he understands their character. And when he understands their character, he understands their game. This has always helped him to win.
He wins the first game, and the second, and the third. The woman’s face shows no emotion, and the man is confused. He agrees to continue playing. She wins the next game, and the man is shocked. This has never happened to him before. He rarely loses, and he has never lost to a woman.
The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He does not recognise her style, her strategy. He can’t read her face; he does not understand her. Sometimes, he thinks that he does not understand the world around him any longer.
“The way I think about the game” says the woman, “is that it is a series of steps for getting what I want.” Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life, life itself, and not a model of life. He worries about the dignity of the game, the elegance of the board. She worries about getting points.
“There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing” he says.
“What sense does a game have if you don’t win?”
“The playing is the sense” replies the man. “This game was invented by generals. They used it to work out strategies for war. They used the stones to map out positions” he tells her. “And then they decided that is was better to have a game than have a war.”
“Are we at war now?” she asks. He wants to say no, but does not know how to reply.
“There is another story” says the young woman. “Go began when witches threw stones to tell fortunes.”
“Will this game tell our fortune?”
“It is better to play a game than try to tell the future” she says, and he is surprised again. This time he is surprised by how wise her words are.
“The future is a game that has already started. The future is waiting to see who the winner is” he says. “Every move you make determines what will happen in the future.”
They play Go for six months. At the end of six months, they know that their final game is close. The final game will decide who is the winner, and who the loser.
“A game is a metaphor for life.”
“No, life is a metaphor for a game.”
They cannot agree; but it is not necessary. They both look at the Go board in silence. It looks like a work of art, and also a scientific document. It is a map, a map of the game they played, and a map of their thoughts.
“Change is a necessary part of life” thinks the man.
“Playing is as important as winning” thinks the woman.
They start to play their final game.
46. From the first two paragraphs, we know_______.
A. they follow different rules when playing to game
B. they use different machines to help while playing the game
C. they take different attitudes towards playing the game
D. they have different understanding of art and science
47. By saying “When I was your age, it would have been impossible for us to play together”, the
old man intends to_______.
A. teach the woman the history of the game
B. irritate the young woman and then study her
C. find a topic and break the uncomfortable silence
D. praise the woman’s power in playing the game
48. Which of the following statements may the man agree with?
A. Everything is science and rules including the game.
B. The game is not a way of life but a model of life.
C. Understanding the opponent helps to win the game.
D. The only purpose of playing the game is to win.
49. Why did the young woman tell another story of the beginning of the Go?
A. To show off her knowledge of the game.B. To prove the old man’s story is wrong.
C. To express her willingness to give in.D. To express her understanding of the game.
50. What is the message conveyed in the story?
A. A change of self is needed in life.B. Never judge people by their looks.
C. Great minds think alike.D. Process is more important than result.

What Should You Do When an Earthquake Hits?
If you find the ground shaking beneath your feet, there’s an international consensus on how you should act. Earthquake safety boils down to three basic steps：
1. Drop to the ground.
2. Take cover by getting under a sturdy deck or table.
3. Hold on to it until the shaking stops.
If there isn’t a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.
If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow. You are less likely to be injured staying where you are: Broken glass on the floor has caused injury to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to doorways.
If you are outdoors, move to a clear area if you can safely do so; avoid power lines, trees, signs, buildings, vehicles, and other hazards: If you’re at the movies ox a sports game, stay at your seat and protect your head and neck with your arms. Don’t try to leave until the shaking is over. Then walk out slowly watching for anything that could fall in the aftershocks.
If you’re driving a car, pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over: If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.
If you’re by the shore, drop, cover and hold on until the shaking stops. Estimate how long the shaking lasts. If severe shaking lasts 20 seconds or more, immediately evacuate to high ground as a tsunami (海啸) might have been generated by the earthquake. Move inland 3 kilometers (2 miles) or to land that is at least 30 meters (100 feet) above sea level immediately. Don’t wait for officials to issue a warning. Walk quickly, rather than drive, to avoid traffic, debris and other hazards
If you live downstream for a dam, you should know floodzone information and have prepared an evacuation plan. Gatastrophic failure is unlikely, but dams can fail during major earthquakes.
The main point is to try not to move and to immediately protect yourself as best as possible where you are. Earthquakes occur without any warning and may be so violent that you cannot run or crawl; you therefore will most likely be knocked to the ground where you happen to be. You will never know if the initial jolt will turn out to be start of the big one
In addition, studies of injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes in the US over the last several decades indicate you are much more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects (TVs, lamps, glass, bookcases, etc.) than to die in a collapsed building. “Drop, Cover, and Hold on” offers the best overall level of protection.
Theme: 51 to be taken during an earthquake: Drop, Cover and Hold on
When you are indoors
Get under a desk / table or drop to the ground in an inside corner with
your head 52 with your hands and arms.
Don’t move to other places, 53 you might get injured by broken glass.
When you are outdoors
Moving to a clear area and 54 staying near power lines are
recommended.
You are 55 not to leave until the shaking is over.
When you are driving
You should 56 over to the roadside and keep away
from dangerous places like overpasses, bridges or power lines.
When you are by the shore
You should walk inland to a higher place to 57
from a possible tsunami.
When you live downstream
You should 58 a plan for necessary evacuation if you
live down stream
Conclusion:You should stay 59 you are and protect yourself in an earthquake, because you are
60 likely to die in a collapsed building than to be injured by failing or flying objects.

A
It was a cold night in September. The rain was drumming on the car roof as George and Marie Winston drove through the empty country roads towards the house of their friends, the Harrisons, where they were going to attend a party to celebrate the engagement of the Harrisons’ daughter, Lisa. As they drove, they listened to the local radio station, which was playing classical music.
They were about five miles from the Harrison’s house when the music on the radio was interrupted by a news announcement: “The Cheshire police have issued a serious warning after a man escaped from Colford Mental Hospital earlier this evening. The man, John Downey, is a murderer who killed six people before he was captured two years ago. He is described as large, very strong and extremely dangerous. People in the Cheshire’ area are warned to keep their doors and windows locked, and to call the police immediately if they see anyone acting strangely.”
Marie shivered. “A crazy killer. And he’s out there somewhere. That’s frightening.”
“Don’t worry about it,” said her husband. “We’re nearly there now. Anyway, we have more important things to worry about. This car is losing power for some reason – it must be that old problem with the engine. If it gets any worse, we’ll have to stay at the Harrisons’ tonight and get it fixed before we travel back tomorrow.”
As he spoke, the car began to slow down. Finally they rolled to a halt, as the engine died completely. Just as they stopped, George pulled the car off the road, and it came to rest under a large tree, “Blast!” said George angrily. “Now we’ll have to walk in the rain.”
“But that’ll take us an hour at least,” said Marie, “And I have my highheeled shoes and my nice clothes on. They’ll be ruined!”
“Well, you’ll have to wait while I run to the nearest house and call the Harrisons. Someone can come out and pick us up,” said George.
“But George! Have you forgotten what the radio said? There’s Homicideal maniac out there! You can’t leave me alone here!”
“You’ll have to hide in the back of the car. Lock all the doors and lie on the floor in the back, under this blanket. No one will see you. When I come back, I’ll knock three times on the door. Then you can get up and open it. Don’t open it unless you hear three knocks,” George opened the door and, slipped out into the rain. He quickly disappeared into the blackness.
Very tired, she fell asleep. Hours later, she heard the sound of three or four vehicles, racing quickly down the road. All of them pulled up around her, their tired screeching on the road. At last! Someone had come! Marie sat up quickly and looked out of the window.
The three vehicles were all police cars. Several policemen leapt out. One of them rushed towards the car as Marie opened the door. He took her by the hand.
“Get out of the car and walk with me to the police vehicle. Miss! You’re safe now. Look straight ahead. Keep looking at the police car. Don’t look back. Just don’t look back.”
Something in the way he spoke filled Marie with cold horror. She could not help herself. About ten yards from the police car, she stopped, turned and looked back at the empty vehicle.
George was hanging from the tree above the car, a rope tied around his neck.

The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems，and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghaibased Wenhui Daily reported.
The World Health Organization estimated that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent，and mental problem will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing municipal health bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems.
If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crime, drugtaking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the onechild policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in onechild families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing, Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
39. What is the purpose of the passage？

Two people sit down opposite each other to play a game called Go (围棋). One of the players is an old man, He is now 89 years old. He had been playing Go since he was a small child. He is now the most famous player of Go in the world. People from all over the world call him “the Master”. The Master thinks that the game of Go is an art, and he thinks that he is an artist.
His opponent is a young woman. They young woman has only been playing Go for three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. She played to win. She thought of the game as a science. She calculate all the possible variations, using a computer to analyze techniques and strategies. She became a human computer when she played. She played Go the same way she had played computer games—by becoming a machine herself.
“When! Was your age, it would have been impossible for us to play together,” he says to her. They speak very little during the game.
“Why?” she asks.
“Young lady, you have not studied the history of this game. In the past, women did not play Go.” There is silence again. She might be irritated by the old man’s comment, but now she is playing Go, and so she feels no emotions. Her mind is not listening to the man, but calculating all the possible way of placing her next stone. The old man, on the movements of her hands and of her face. This is not only because he thinks that she is very beautiful, it is also because by understanding a person he knows how they will play. When he understands how a person moves, he understands their character. And when he understands their character, he understands their game. This has always helped him to win.
He wins the first game, and the second, and the third. The woman’s face shows no emotion, and the man is confused. He agrees to continue playing. She wins the next game, and the man is shocked. This has never happened to him before. He rarely loses, and he has never lost to a woman.
The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He does not recognise her style, her strategy. He can’t read her face; he does not understand her. Sometimes, he thinks that he does not understand the world around him any longer.
“The way I think about the game” says the woman, “is that it is a series of steps for getting what I want.” Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life, life itself, and not a model of life. He worries about the dignity of the game, the elegance of the board. She worries about getting points.
“There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing” he says.
“What sense does a game have if you don’t win?”
“The playing is the sense” replies the man. “This game was invented by generals. They used it to work out strategies for war. They used the stones to map out positions” he tells her. “And then they decided that is was better to have a game than have a war.”
“Are we at war now?” she asks. He wants to say no, but does not know how to reply.
“There is another story” says the young woman. “Go began when witches threw stones to tell fortunes.”
“Will this game tell our fortune?”
“It is better to play a game than try to tell the future” she says, and he is surprised again. This time he is surprised by how wise her words are.
“The future is a game that has already started. The future is waiting to see who the winner is” he says. “Every move you make determines what will happen in the future.”
They play Go for six months. At the end of six months, they know that their final game is close. The final game will decide who is the winner, and who the loser.
“A game is a metaphor for life.”
“No, life is a metaphor for a game.”
They cannot agree; but it is not necessary. They both look at the Go board in silence. It looks like a work of art, and also a scientific document. It is a map, a map of the game they played, and a map of their thoughts.
“Change is a necessary part of life” thinks the man.
“Playing is as important as winning” thinks the woman.
They start to play their final game.
46. From the first two paragraphs, we know_______.
A. they follow different rules when playing to game
B. they use different machines to help while playing the game
C. they take different attitudes towards playing the game
D. they have different understanding of art and science

old man intends to_______.
A. teach the woman the history of the game
B. irritate the young woman and then study her
C. find a topic and break the uncomfortable silence
D. praise the woman’s power in playing the game

B. The game is not a way of life but a model of life.

第Ⅱ卷(两部分 共35分)
第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
What Should You Do When an Earthquake Hits?
If you find the ground shaking beneath your feet, there’s an international consensus on how you should act. Earthquake safety boils down to three basic steps：
1. Drop to the ground.
2. Take cover by getting under a sturdy deck or table.
3. Hold on to it until the shaking stops.
If there isn’t a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.
If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow. You are less likely to be injured staying where you are: Broken glass on the floor has caused injury to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to doorways.
If you are outdoors, move to a clear area if you can safely do so; avoid power lines, trees, signs, buildings, vehicles, and other hazards: If you’re at the movies ox a sports game, stay at your seat and protect your head and neck with your arms. Don’t try to leave until the shaking is over. Then walk out slowly watching for anything that could fall in the aftershocks.
If you’re driving a car, pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over: If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.
If you’re by the shore, drop, cover and hold on until the shaking stops. Estimate how long the shaking lasts. If severe shaking lasts 20 seconds or more, immediately evacuate to high ground as a tsunami (海啸) might have been generated by the earthquake. Move inland 3 kilometers (2 miles) or to land that is at least 30 meters (100 feet) above sea level immediately. Don’t wait for officials to issue a warning. Walk quickly, rather than drive, to avoid traffic, debris and other hazards
If you live downstream for a dam, you should know floodzone information and have prepared an evacuation plan. Gatastrophic failure is unlikely, but dams can fail during major earthquakes.
The main point is to try not to move and to immediately protect yourself as best as possible where you are. Earthquakes occur without any warning and may be so violent that you cannot run or crawl; you therefore will most likely be knocked to the ground where you happen to be. You will never know if the initial jolt will turn out to be start of the big one
In addition, studies of injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes in the US over the last several decades indicate you are much more likely to be injured by falling or flying objects (TVs, lamps, glass, bookcases, etc.) than to die in a collapsed building. “Drop, Cover, and Hold on” offers the best overall level of protection.
Theme: 51 to be taken during an earthquake: Drop, Cover and Hold on
When you are indoors
Get under a desk / table or drop to the ground in an inside corner with
your head 52 with your hands and arms.
Don’t move to other places, 53 you might get injured by broken glass.
When you are outdoors
Moving to a clear area and 54 staying near power lines are
recommended.
You are 55 not to leave until the shaking is over.
When you are driving
You should 56 over to the roadside and keep away
from dangerous places like overpasses, bridges or power lines.
When you are by the shore
You should walk inland to a higher place to 57
from a possible tsunami.
When you live downstream
You should 58 a plan for necessary evacuation if you
live down stream
Conclusion:You should stay 59 you are and protect yourself in an earthquake, because you are
60 likely to die in a collapsed building than to be injured by failing or flying objects.
