二、完形填空（本题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）
How often do you let other people’s rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how 16 you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this 17 at the back of a taxi in New York. We were driving fast in the right lane (车道) when suddenly, a black car jumped 18 a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake (刹车) as hard as possible, and at the 19 moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car. I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started 20 bad words. But then here’s what really 21 me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved (挥手致意) at the guy. I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy nearly 22 us!” He told me what I now remember “The Law of the Garbage (垃圾)Truck.” He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. 23 their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they’ll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don’t feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be 24 .” I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 25 it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.
I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。 16. A. clearly B. quickly C. exactly D. correctly 17. A. example B. experience C. lesson D. case 18. A. out of B. across C. next to D. far from 19. A. next B. busy C. right D. last 20. A. shouting B. telling C. whispering D. expressing 21. A. cheered B. encouraged C. surprised D. satisfied 22. A. attacked B. killed C. warned D. beat 23. A. Since B. While C. As D. Before 24. A. happier B. busier C. safer D. luckier 25. A. donate B. lend C. spread D. hang

（A）
When people become good at doing the things they like, they have found themselves.
Many young people are good at doing things they do not like. Some young people would like to do something that they are not good at. Also some of them don't think they are good at anything and don't know what they would like to do. None of them are happy.

Give each idea a fair chance. If you have decided to try out something new, also decided how long you will stick to it，then you can make a fair decision.
