Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life lesson in the back of a New York City taxi. I was on my way to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right lane when a black car suddenly sped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My driver fit the brakes hard, skidded, and missed the other car by a few inches. The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him. He was really friendly!
“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”. “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment,” he said. “As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them do, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, just smile, wave, wish them will, and move on. You’ll be happier because of what you have done.”
I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump 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 dump anymore.” 24. What happened when the writer was taking a taxi? A. He saw a car accident.

B. Many people dump garbage wherever they like. C. Many people are warm-hearted and make others happy. D. Many people need to dump their feelings now and then.
27. According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you? A. Dump your garbage on him or her, too. B. Be friendly and go on with your own work.
C. Tell them to dump their garbage in the right place. D. Try your best to encourage them not to do that again. C
Many people drink coffee to quickly increase their energy. Scientists say there may be another reason to drink coffee. They studied the link（联系）between coffee drinking and the risk of death from some diseases, and found that drinking moderate（适量的）amounts of coffee each day may help protect against heart disease, cancer and other diseases. David Jacobs of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis worked on the study with researchers from the University of Oslo.
The researchers used information about 27,300 women. They were between 55 and 69 years of age when they entered the study. During a fifteen-year period, almost 15.75% of them died. The researchers found a link between the amount of coffee the women reported drinking and their risk of dying from heart disease. Coffee drinking was measured in cups. One cup is about 225 grams.
There was a reduced risk of death from heart disease among women who drank from one to three cups of coffee each day. A reduction（减少）in the risk of death from other diseases was also seen. But Professor Jacobs says the risk reduction for death from heart disease decreased in women who drank more than three cups a day.
The researchers say antioxidants（抗氧化剂）in coffee might reduce the risk of heart disease. Earlier studies found that coffee has high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants have been shown to help prevent heart disease, cancer and other diseases. 28. How many women are alive after the study of fifteen years? A. About 23,000. 1,400.
29. What does the underlined word “decreased” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Rose. Continued.
30. It can be inferred that Professor Jacobs suggests we drink ________each day. A. more than three cups of coffee

D.

C. about 225 grams of coffee D. as much coffee as possible

Norman Borlaug, who is making a difference, is known around the world. He is often described as the man who has saved more lives than any other person in history. Norman Borlaug is considered the father of what has been called the Green Revolution. His ideas about agriculture increased crop production and ended hunger in many nations. Mr. Borlaug continues to be a leader among agricultural researchers.
Norman Borlaug was born in 1914 on a farm in the American state of Iowa. In the middle of the 20th century, world population was expanding faster than food production. Experts said many people in developing countries would face starvation.
Norman Borlaug was an agricultural researcher at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico. He developed methods of growing wheat that increased the amount harvested by three times. He later repeated this success in India, Pakistan and Africa.
His methods of farming saved millions of people who would have starved to death. Norman Borlaug was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in 1970.
Norman Borlaug is still urging experts to think about the needs of people around the world. His latest concern is a disease in wheat called UG99. He says it has the power to destroy most of the wheat being grown around the world. He says reductions in agricultural programs have made it harder to take action against such threats.
Mr. Borlaug’s granddaughter Julie works at the center named after him at Texas A&M University in Dallas. She says his worry about food problems rises from the belief that hunger is unacceptable. She says Norman Borlaug still believes it is our responsibility as human beings to feed one another.
32. Norman Borlaug was ________ years old when he was given the Nobel Prize. A. 56
B. 94
C. 65
D. 99
33. In the passage, the writer tries to ________. A. express his respect for Norman Borlaug.
B. introduce Norman Borlaug’s own life in America
