He was really friendly!“Why did you just do that?” I asked him. “This guy almost destroyed your car and could have set us to the hospital!”This was when my taxi driver told me what I now call “the Law of Garbage Trucks”.“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment,” he said. “As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them do, theyll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You will be happier because of what you have done.”I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me?

There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room at the hotel had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had planned everything. How could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter: the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only $145. I asked if there was anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.The hotel was far from the train station, so I had to take a taxi, at $25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of $104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. "No, this is a 4-star hotel, " the waiter told me. “In that case,” I replied, “I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.” But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room, it might not be available when I came back.

DA flood occurs when water is too much. This can happen in many ways. The most common thing is when rivers run out of their banks. Too much rain, a broken dam, ice in the mountains changing into water, or even an unfortunately placed dam can break down a river and send it spreading over the nearby land, called a floodplain. Coastal flooding occurs when a large storm causes the sea to surge inland.Most floods take hours or even days to develop, giving people enough time to prepare or leave. Others come quickly with little warning. These flash floods can be extremely dangerous, immediately turning a river into a thundering wall of water and sweeping everything in its path down.Disaster experts divide floods into different types according to their possibility of occurring in a given time period. A hundred-year flood, for example, is an extremely large, harmful event that would theoretically be expected to happen only once every century. But this is a theoretical number. In reality, this classification means there is a one-percent chance that such a flood could happen in any given year. Over recent ten years, possibly due to global climate change, hundred-year floods have been occurring worldwide pretty regularly.Moving water has terribly harmful power. When a river rushes out of its banks or the sea drives inland, buildings poorly equipped to resist the water 's strength are no match. Bridges, houses, trees, and cars can be picked up and carried off.When flood waters become weak, the affected areas are often covered with mud. The water and land can be polluted with dangerous materials, such as rubbish, industrial pollution, and dirty water. People of flooded areas can be left without power and clean drinking water, leading to dangerous waterborne diseases.But flooding, particularly in river floodplains, is as natural as rain and has been occurring for millions of years.32. What do we know about flash floods?A. They happen only in floodplains. B. They come quickly with little warning. C. They are less dangerous than other floods. D. They are caused by ice melting in the mountains.33. The underlined word “surge” in paragraph 1 probably means “_” ?A. Become calm. B. Rise and fall in waves.C. Separate into more pieces. D. Give one thing in exchange for another.34. Hundred-year floods have been occurring worldwide pretty regularly is perhaps because of _?A. Global climate change. B. Poor flood control projects.C. More and more trees being cut down.D. Many rivers become narrower.35. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How people can take measures to prevent floods.B. How disaster experts divide floods into different types.C. How people can deal with floods and survive from them.D. How floods happen and the bad effects floods bring about.第二节 阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中七选五有两项为多余选项。Interviews can be quite frightening but our tips can help you. 36 Remember these things and you'll be fine.Be on time.
