How often do you let other people like a bad driver, a rude waiter, or an angry boss, change your mood?

Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson. I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes, the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.

I couldn¡¯t believe it. But then I couldn¡¯t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started shouting at us. I couldn¡¯t believe it!

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said, ¡°Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!¡± And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, ¡°The Law of the Garbage Truck¡±. He said, ¡°Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they¡¯ll dump it on you.¡±

So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don¡¯t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Self-worth is very important in your life. We may love others, but we need to learn to love ourselves. We have to believe in what we do, and feel better about ourselves. If you do not have self-worth, you may begin to get discouraged.

Avoid negative people in your life.2.If these people put you down, do not believe in you, or treat you badly, why are you still around them? It took me years to realize this for myself, and it is true. Negative people hurt your self-worth, and bring you down emotionally. Get closer to people that believe in you. If you do not have these positive people in your life, find a support group that can help you.3.Your self-worth can be increased greatly with positive guide.

Find employment or volunteer somewhere you feel valued, or can make a difference. Giving to others builds you up personally. You do not have to do this all the time, but once you see how good it feels you will want to continue.

Dangers from Outer Space

What is the greatest threat to life on our planet? Is it climate change? Shortages of food or water? Or might an altogether bigger danger come from somewhere further away: space?

We¡¯re not talking about an attack by little green men here. Instead, how about being hit by a large falling star, beat by deadly universal rays or fried by the energy of an erupting star?

It wouldn¡¯t be the first time that our Earth has had a rough ride over the last 3.7 billion years, with some disastrous events. The most famous mass extinction£¨Ãð¾ø£©was 66 million years ago, when it¡¯s widely believed that a meteorite£¨ÔÉʯ£©killed off the dinosaurs. A 110-mile-wide crater in Mexico with the same geological age supports this theory.

Believe it or not, this wasn¡¯t the worst catastrophe in our planet¡¯s history. That was when 96% of life was wiped out at the end of the Permian period, 252 million year ago. Scientists don¡¯t know for sure why this happened, but any potential explanations carry with them the possibility that similar events could happen again.

Some experts believe that our Sun has a twin star which is too far away to observe directly. This huge sleeping star could twist the paths of orbiting icy rocks and cast them towards the rest of the Solar System.

Is this what happened 252 million years ago? Or is there instead, perhaps, a distant, ninth plant in our Solar System which pulls in passing comets£¨åçÐÇ£©and sends them dashing our way?

The Sun that has given us the warmth is gradually turning into a deadly enemy. Like all stars, it is slowing dying, burning through its energy supplies. As it does so, it expands, and in about 2 billion years it will have grown so much that the heat will make life on planet Earth unbearable.

While all this sounds a little horrible, take comfort from the fact that the chance of being hit by a huge interstellar projectile£¨ÐǼÊÅöײÎis unbelievably slim, and that 2 billion years is a very long time.

1.When did dinosaurs die out according to the passage?

A. 3.7 billion years ago. B. 252 million years ago.

C. 66 million years ago. D. 2 billion years ago.

2.Why was 96% of life destroyed at the end of the Permian period?

A. The cause is still unknown.

B. A huge falling star hit the earth.

C. A twin star cast icy rocks towards the Solar System.

D. A ninth planet pulled in passing comets.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. All stars will eventually run of energy.

B. Our planet will be attacked by little green men.

C. We will be fried by the energy of an erupting star.

D. A huge sleeping star will hit the earth in millions of years.

4.What is the author¡¯s attitude toward the dangers from outer space?

A. Frightened. B. Relieved.

C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
