完型填空
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 31 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed 32 the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes (刹车) at once. As a result, our car slid (滑动) 33 and stopped, narrowly 34 it by just inches！The driver of the black car looked around and started 35 at us.
My taxi driver just 36 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the 37 !” 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 garbage, frustration, anger and disappointment. As their garbage 38 , they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it 39 . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be happier. Don’t take their garbage or 40 it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 41 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s important in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you remember bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you 42 them more frequently.
So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent 43 you make it and ninety percent how you 44 it！
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by letting go of the bad. Have a Garbage-free Day! Have a marvelous, garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 45 the harvest you reap tomorrow.

34. A. knocking B. pressing C. missing D. losing

Pacing & Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, Betty, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.
It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational
style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in --- and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.
That's why slight differences in conversational style --- tiny little things like microseconds of pause --- can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems --- even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.
46. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative. B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
47. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.
48. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one's confidence
49. The underlined word \"assertiveness\" in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. being willing to speak one's mind power
B. being able to increase one's
C. being ready to make one's own judgment D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently
