　　If you think a Web site designed especially for complaining(抱怨)sounds unique, then think again．If you have a complaint, there are hundreds of sites that allow you to get it off your chest．Sites exist for complaining about such things as defective(有缺陷的)products, government inefficiency, and offensive advertising．There are even sites where you can complain about anything that bothers you, including love, family, or just the weather．These Web sites won't actually do anything about your problem; they just let you blow off steam．Here's a sampling of complaints people have written．

　　1．Something I can't stand is pencils! They need to be sharpened after every page you write．And then don't you hate it when they start to make a scratching noise?

　　2．Have you ever noticed that in most schools you have chairs with armrests to write on attached to the right-hand side of the chair only? Where are the desk for left handed people? It's very uncomfortable for us“lefties”to use these desks made for right-handed people!

I think that banks shouldn't be tempting(引诱)people with those checks．

　　4．It isn't fair that the U．S．dominates the Internet! I go to fill in a request for a catalog or a prize or a free offer, and I find it's limited to residents of the United States．I live outside the U．S．, and it's frustrating(使人沮丧的)!

　　Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab．Here's what happened．I hopped 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 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 driver 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 frustration, 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 you did．

　　I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage 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．"

　　Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting．Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses．Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about．The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day．What about you?What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by?Here's my bet．You'll be happier．Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets．So, Love the people who treat you right．Forget about the ones who don't．

　　Beijing－A recent Chinese blockbuster(轰动的作品)“A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker(民工)carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves．But while the image(形象)of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle(偷着乐), it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it．

　　“Forty yuan a ticket? I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing．

　　Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about．“It must be 10 years ago,” he said．

　　Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers．

　　Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in1991．Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily．“Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he said．

　　For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever．This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible．

　　With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents．

　　In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998．

　　A recent survey by local media revealed(显示)that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income．The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day．Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life．

　　Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment．

　　You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly．They record where you are going,how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to withstand(承受)almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a magic book．They're known as the black box．

　　When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine(潜水艇)detected the device's(设备)signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed．

　　In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U．S．commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane － the area least affected by impact － from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱)．The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to be discovered more easily．

　　Modern airplanes have two black boxes：a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments．Placed in an insulated(隔绝的)case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand huge force and temperatures up to 2,000℉．When in deep water, they're also able to send signals from depths of 20,000 ft．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up．In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered．

(1)

What does the author say about the black box?

[　　]

A．

It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane．

B．

The idea for its design comes from a magic book．

C．

Its ability to avoid disasters is unbelieavable．

D．

It is an inseparable device on an airplane．

(2)

What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?

[　　]

A．

Data for analyzing the cause of the crash．

B．

The total number of passengers on board．

C．

The scene of the crash and extent of the damage．

D．

Signals sent by the pilot before the crash．

(3)

Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?

[　　]

A．

New materials became available by that time．

B．

Too much space was needed for the device．

C．

The early models often got damaged in the crash．

D．

The early models didn't provide the needed data．

(4)

Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?

[　　]

A．

To distinguish them from the colour of the plane．

B．

To caution people to handle them with care．

C．

To make them easily discovered．

D．

To meet with international standards．

(5)

What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?

[　　]

A．

There is still a good chance of their being recovered．

B．

There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed．

C．

They have stopped sending signals back．

D．

They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil．
