Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life lesson in the back of a New City taxi.
I was on my 16 to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right way when a black car 17 sped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My driver hit the brakes (刹车) hard，and 18 the other car by a few centimeters. The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started 19 at us. My taxi driver just smiled and moved his hand. He was really 20 !
"Why did you just do that?" I asked him，"This guy almost destroyed your car and could have sent us to the hospital!" This was when my taxi driver told me what I now call "the Law of Garbage Trucks (垃圾车)”
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of 21
and full of disappointment，" he said.“ As their garbage is more and more，they need a place to throw it away and if you let them they'll throw it on you. So when someone wants to throw garbage on you，just smile，move your hand，wish him well，and move on. You'll be 22 because of what you have done.
I started thinking 23 I let garbage trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and throw it on other people---at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said, "I'm not going to throw anymore.”
Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks affect them. What about you? If you let garbage trucks pass you by, you'll be happier. Life is too short to 24 in the morning with regrets.

20．A．friendly B．rude C．impolite D．patient 21．A．joy B．anger C．excitement D．treasure 22．A．faster B．lighter C．busier D．happier 23．A．how often B．how much C．how long D．how soon 24．A．take up B．wake up C．turn up D．clear up 25．A．Wonder B．Agree C．Forget D．Remember

Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression?” It may sound like an unusual suggestion, but it is true---the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.
What is even interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create the first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.
So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you---such as being polite and being well-dressed----are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave positive impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.
Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet-and impress them with a cheerful smile.
29．The first impression someone has of you will probably influence how that person .

Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people. Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family was no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902, he went to study in Japan. There he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous story Diary of a Madman.It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q(1921) made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future. In 1927, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called pen warfare". He only wrote articles which called on people to fight for their freedom and rights. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced
to write his articles using different pen names.

Thus I got to know an important fact that the planet the little prince came from was hardly any larger than a house!
I was not,however,shocked so much. I knew very well that there are some planets which are so small that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an astronomer discovers one of these planets,he does not give it a name. Instead,he gives it only a number. He might call it,for instance,“Asteroid (小行星) 325”
I have good reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid called B-612. It has only once been seen through the telescope. A Turkish astronomer discovered it in 1909. On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it at the International Astronomical Conference but nobody would believe his discovery because he was dressed in Turkish traditional costurne. At any rate, grown-ups are all like that.
Fortunately, however, in 1920, when the astronomer gave his presentation all over again, dressed in impressive European costurne, his report was accepted by everybody.
I have told you these details about the asteroid because I need to reveal the ways of grown-ups. Whenever you tell them that you have made a new friend, they don't ask you any questions about important matters at all.
They never ask you, "What does his voice sound like? What's his favorite game? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they ask, "How old is he? How many brothers does he have? How much money does his father earn?" They think they have learned about him through these figures only.
Therefore,you'd better not say to the grown-ups,“The evidence (证据) that the little prince existed is that he was charming,that he laughed,and that he wanted to have a sheep. If anybody wants to have a sheep,that's the evidence that he exists." There is no use to tell them in that way. They would shrug their shoulders and treat you like a kid.
Grown-ups are like that. Children should always show great patience towards grown-up people.
37．According to the writer, where did the little prince come from?
A．A small house.B．Asteroid 325.
C．A large planet.D．Asteroid B-612.
38．Why didn't people believe the discovery of the asteroid at the beginning?
A．Because the astronomer was not thought to be properly dressed.
B．Because the astronomer didn't provide enough evidence.
C．Because the grown-ups didn't like the astronomer.
D．Because the astronomer was from Turkey.
39．Which of the following statements supports the writer's opinion that "grown-ups are like that"?
A．They show great patience towards kids.
B．They care a lot about numbers.
C．They take kids' words seriously.
D．They care about the interest of person.
40．Which was not the evidence to make the writer believe that the little prince existed?
A．He was charming.B．He laughed.
C．He wanted to sleep.D．He wanted to have a sheep.

42 The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients(材料) and baking them together. 43 They are flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices. Flour gives the cake structure. Sugar helps to make it sweet. Salt strengthens the cake better. Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise.
Next, the carrots may be added to the cake. 44 The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs. The oil makes the cake soft and moist. Eggs serve two purposes—the whites help the cake to rise, while the yolks give it creamy texture. 45 Once the cake mixture is formed, it's poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven. The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place. The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot be separated.
A．In the course of making cakes, the dry ingredients are mixed first.
B．All of these ingredients form a mixture.
C．To get a closer look at the chemical change of baking, let's watch how a carrot cake is made.
D．People can discover chemical changes every day in the kitchen.
E．These help give the carrot cake its flavor, texture (口感), and color.
