One of the most common causes of accidents is that drivers are not concentrating on their driving. Sometimes a person is irritated with his friends, wife, or living conditions and is thinking about his problems rather than his driving. As a result, he may be unconsciously increasing his speed and paying very little attention to other cars and people. He may not see, because of absent-mindedness, a red light, a car suddenly stopping in front of him, or a person walking on the street. The consequence is imaginable: he bumps into other cars or runs over some pedestrians. 1. Why does not the driver in the example see a red light? (A) Because he is blind. (B) Because he drives too fast. (C) Because a car suddenly stops in front of him. (D) Because he is not paying attention. (D) 2.

It can harm your career, your relationships and almost every aspect of your life. In order to manage anger, you must learn how to express your feelings in a healthy way. Then you can control your reaction to everyday discouragement. Some people can express their anger in a controlled and useful way. Others may react in an aggressive manner, either immediately or after letting their feelings build up. This can lead to violent behavior. If you feel yourself getting angry, don't let it build up until you lose control. Try taking long, slow, deep breaths, and give your heart a chance to slow down. If you are having an angry discussion with someone, slow down and think carefully about what you want to say. Listen to the other person, remembering that everyone can have their own opinion. Be patient and ask questions to get to the heart of the problem. Consider if there is a misunderstanding or if you really are right to be angry. There are a number of ways which people use to deal with anger. But it is always a good idea to gain an understanding of why they get so angry. Anyway, you will never be able to keep anger out of your life. You will always come across situations which make you angry. The key is getting used to taking responsibility for your own reactions and behavior. 1. The passage is mainly about ----.

In a poor village in the rural country was a wealthy family. The head of this family, the grandpa, was called the master by the villagers. Most of the villagers worked very hard on the master's land just to earn very little money to support their families. The only rich family in the village enjoyed their comfortable life without having to work. They ate every kind of delicious food every day, such as shark fins, birds' nests, not to mention fish, pork and beef. On the contrary, the rest of the people in the village could hardly have three meals a day. Some of them even collected the leftover of the food thrown out of the master's house. Next to the grand house of the master was a temple. In the temple lived an aged monk. The monk hated to find good and white rice coming out through the gutter of the neighbor's. So he picked the rice up, grain by grain, washed it clean, dried it in the sun, and put it away in cans. This went on for years until one day the wealthy family had trouble with the king, and all their wealth was taken away. Now the family had nothing! They had to beg for food. Seeing the need of the poor family, the monk took out the fried rice. He gave it to his neighbors, and told them how he got the rice. My mother told me lots of stories when I was a child. Most of them I forgot, but this one somehow stays fresh in my memory. Mark the sentence T (True) or F (False) . 1. The story happened in a big city in China. 2. The wealthy family did not eat fish because they did not like it. 3. The sons of the wealthy family had to work on their land, like the rest of the people. 4. The king was unhappy about the family and ordered that they own no more land. 5. The monk was wise to sell the family food which had been theirs. (1. F 2. F 3. F 4. T 5.
