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 _36_ your day?
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab．One day I was in a taxi and we headed 37 the airport．We were driving in the 38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on（猛踩）his 39 , slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and 40 the other car by just inches ! The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started 41 at us．
My taxi driver just 42 and waved at the guy．And I mean, he was 43 , so I said, "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 said, “ Many people are li ke garbage trucks．They run around full of 44 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment．As their garbage 45 up, they need a place to dump（丢弃,倾倒）it and sometimes they’ll dump it on _ 46 ．Don't take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on．Believe me．You’ll be _47 ．"
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 48 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 any more．”
L ife’s t oo short to wake up in the morning with 49 ．The mark of your success is psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you 5l bad things more often than good things in your life．You store the bad memories more easily, and you 52 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 53 it ! The odds（情势，胜算）are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but when you follow "The Law of the Garbage Truck", you take back control of your life．You make room for the good by 54 go of the bad．
Have a Garbage-Free Day ! Have a marvelous, garbage-free day ! The seeds you plant today 55 the harvest．
36．A．enrich B．ruin C．spare D．obtain 37．A．through B．to C．in D．for 38．A．latter B．right C．opposite D．free 39．A．brakes B．door C．window D．seat 40．A．knocked B．overtook C．missed D．lost 41．A．laughing B．throwing C．glancing D．yelling 42．A．wondered B．smiled C．ignored D．guessed 43．A．friendly B．angry C．tired D．disappointed

笫三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Jeremy Shu-How Lin, who was born in California, 1988, world-famous now，is the first Chinese-American professional basketball player with the New York Knicks of NBA.
It hasn't been an easy road for Lin. After high school, Lin sent his resume(简历) and a DVD of highlights to all the Ivy League schools, and his dream schools Stanford and UCLA. Harvard and Brown were the only schools that guaranteed him a spot on their basketball teams, but Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships.
After graduating from Harvard University, Lin went undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft (选拔) . Lin spent his first season with his hometown the Golden State Warriors. He saw limited minutes with the Warriors, but was cheered in arenas(比赛场) around the country, particularly in cities with large Asian communities, as fans came out in crowds to cheer their homegrown star. In late 2011, Lin spent less than two weeks with the Houston Rockets, moving to the New York Knicks at the very end of the year.
He has made several trips to the NBA's Development League, a minor league for players who show promise but need seasoning before they can compete at the highest level. It appears to have paid off. In February 2012, after keying the Knicks victory over New Jersey, Lin was named the starter for the Utah game, a position he appears to have a hold on in the short term, as Baron Davis, who signed in December to play the position, stays on the disabled list. Lin will likely get stronger the more minutes he plays, and even if Davis returns, spelling the older, recovering player could be productive for Lin: a proven good student who can learn a lot from practicing against a veteran.
Without the services of All-Stars (全明星) Carmelo and Amare, Lin led New York to a 4-0 record last week. He became the first player in NBA history to record at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his first four starts, which generated (产生) a global following known as Linsanity. The Associated Press (美联社) called Lin "the most Surprising story in the NBA".

At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible site for a house．I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live．In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices．
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place．But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him．However, I let him．keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it．
The real attraction of' the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from highway by a wide field. The poor condition if the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time．I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields．I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements．But it turned out as I have said．
I was not really troubled by the loss．I had always had a．garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的).It makes but little difference you own a farm or not.

Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on distracted（分心的）driving , many accidents and deaths were still related with it , especially using cell phones while driving ．Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars, aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths．
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation's anti-distracted-driving supporter, said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars．
“I think it will be done, ” LaHood said．I think the technology is there and I think you're going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones．We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives．”
Also on Thursday, the transportation government started a new "Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign that features（以…为特征））people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers．The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging, and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks．
A driver is four times more likely to crash while u, sing a mobile phone．More than 5,500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers, and another 500, 000 were injured．LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving, hands-free or not, because it can really cause distraction．
Incidentally, a lot of people seem to agree with this viewpoin t—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, even if the driver is using a hands-free device（装置）. But the research didn't ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices．
66．The Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars because .
A．there is no national laws to prevent the use of cell phones in cars
B．most drivers take no notice of American laws
C．using phones while driving has caused many accidents
D．cell phone technology needs to be developed
67．We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood ．
A．is in charge of the invention of the technology ．
B．thinks it's easy and practical to invent the technology
C．thinks it's unnecessary to use cell phone while driving
D．is strongly for the use of the technology in cars
68．The “Faces of Distracted Driving" video campaign aims to ．
A．find out the real drivers who caused the accidents
B．make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving
C．call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars
D．show that most of the victims in car crashes are children
69．What's the author's attitude towards “disabling cell phones in cars” according to the passage?
A．Opposed B．Doubtful C．Objective D．Surprised 70．We can infer from the text that ．
A．two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving ．．
B．most people would like to choose hands-free devices while driving
C．the disabling devices in cars will be widely used if it is free
D．the writer is not sure whether government-issued disabling devices will be accepted by people．

How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts．With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations．Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home．
●Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return．Nothing says "Hey, we are not home!" like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway．
●Set several different lights in your house on random timers （随机定时器）．Don't leave your outdoor lights on all the time．Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights．If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time it means that nobody is home to turn it off．

●Close all your curtains when you leave town．This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house．I f they don’t know what is inside, then they are less likely to run the risk of breaking in．
