The key to happin,ess is how quickly you can get back your focus on, what's important．
Anonymous
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi carb． Here's what    happened． I hopped in a taxi, and we took ogfor 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 slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, who almost caused a big accident, started yelling bad words at us． My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy． And I mean, he was friendly． So,I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!“And this is when my taxi dniver told me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck．”
Many people are like garbage(rubbish) trucks． They run around full of garbage, full of frus-    tration, full of anger, and full of disappointment． As their garbage piles up, they need a place to    dump it．And if you let them, they'll dump it on you．When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally． You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on* You'll be happy with what you did．
I started thinking, how often do I let Garb4ge Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was that day I said: "I'm not going to do anymore．"
Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day． What about you? If you let   more garbage trucks pass you by, you'll be happier． Life's too short to wake up in the moming with regrets．So, Love the people who treat you right．Forget about the ones who don't．

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”

62. The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that the colours _________.
A. attracted the customers strongly     B. caused the customers to lose interest
C. tricked the customers into shopping  D. had weak effects on the customers
63. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote goods.              B. The discovery of a genius.
C. The team to produce a good product.      D. The brand name used by successful producers.
64. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?
A. Making soap is so easy that any fool in the world can make it.
B. Greens, yellows or silver are considered to be healthy colours.
C. 25 years ago, the founder of Pears soap was a pretty girl herself.
D. The size of a product can have an effect on the shoppers.
65. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products                    B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping               D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.

At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.

Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma (魅力) is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”

But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.

The man known as the French “ Spiderman” climbed The New York Times building on Thursday to draw attention to global warming, and six hours later another climber made the same climb.

Alain Robert, 45, the first person to climb the 52-story skyscraper, told reporters ahead of the climb on the UN World Environment Day his aim was to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time.

His manager Julie Cohen said she knew nothing about the second climber. She added that Robert’s climbs were without risk and he was a professional climber.

Robert climbed without equipment except for climbing shoes. He was greeted at the top by the police who arrested him.

The second climber was also immediately arrested at the top by police. His climb at the height of the evening rush hour drew crowds and was shown live on at least one TV station.

Several people in the crowd shouted“jump” when he stopped part of the way to rest, but there was a loud cheer as he reached the top. Wearing red pants , black climbing shoes and a white T-shirt that read “ Malaria(疟疾) No More”, the man laughed as he was led away by the police from the building.

“ We don’t look at him as a modern spiderman,” said James Coil, a member of the police emergency services unit. “ We look at him as somebody who not only puts his life at risk but is one of members of the public as well.”

Martin Edlund, director of “ Malaria No More”, which aims to prevent the one million yearly deaths from malaria, said the climber had nothing to do with them, but they appreciated his enthusiasm.

Drying food is a simple, low-cost way to keep food safe for eating. Drying removes water that small organisms use to break down food into other substances. Some of these substances may be poisonous to humans.

A device that uses the sun is a good way to dry food. There are several kinds of solar dryers. The easiest to build is called the direct dryer. The sun shines directly on the food being dried. The direct dryer is a box with holes in it so that air can enter and leave the box. It has a cover made of clear glass or plastic. When the sun shines into the box, heat is produced. The heat is trapped inside the box and cannot escape back through the cover. The heat dries the food.

The solar dryer works better if the sides of the box are black. This is because dark colors hold heat while light colors reflect it. One way to make the sides black is to use wood that has been blackened by fire.

If you use black paint instead, be sure the paint contains no lead. Lead is poisonous to people, especially children.

The box can be made of almost any material such as wood, concrete or sheet metal. The dryer should be two meters long, one meter wide and twenty-three to thirty centimeters deep. The sides and bottom should have additional material, called insulation, to keep the heat from escaping.

The surface on which the food is placed should permit air to enter from below and pass through to the food. A surface made of wires with small square openings works very well. You should use wire with the largest openings or squares that do not allow the food to fall through. Air that comes in from below the wire surface will also carry away water evaporated from the food as it dries.

A direct dryer will dry most vegetables in two-and-one-half to four hours at temperatures from forty-three to sixty-three degrees Celsius. Fruits take longer, from four to six hours at the same temperatures.

51.Solar food drying is fast, safe and low-cost. It is also healthy because nutrients such as vitamin C are kept in the food. Solar dried food also tastes and looks good.

51.In which way will the food be fried quickly?

A.Let the sun shine directly on the food.

B.Make the sides of the box black.

C.Make wood be the sides of the box.

D.The box must be made of blackened wood.

52.What does the underlined word “evaporate” in the 6th paragraph mean?

A. sink into B. change into gas or steam C. flow away D. flow into

53.According to the text., which of the following statements is true?

A.Water in the food may cause poisonous substances.

B.The sun shines into the box and be trapped.

C.Dark colours hold heat better than light colours.

D.It takes longer for vegetable to be fried.

54.What’s the text mainly about?

A.the way to dry food.

B.Solar Food Dryers

C.The device that uses the sun

D.The way to keep food safe.
