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(猛踩) on his brakes(刹车), skidded(打滑)，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(垃圾) Truck”．‎ Many people are like garbage (rubbish) trucks. They run around full of garbage，full of frustration（挫折），full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up，they need a place to dump(倾倒) 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 led 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 in 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 morning with regrets. So，love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't.‎ ‎36．What happened one day when the author was taking a taxi?‎ A．The taxi almost hit another car.‎ B．The author learned a lesson from the driver of the garbage truck.‎ C．The taxi driver was injured. ‎ D．The author scolded the driver of the other car.‎ ‎37．What does the taxi driver think of people according to Paragraph 3?‎ A．Many people dump garbage wherever they like.‎ B．Many people tend to be very depressed sometimes. ‎ C．Many people like to drive garbage trucks.‎ D．Many people are warmhearted to make others happy.‎ ‎38．How did the taxi driver respond to the behavior of the driver of the black car?‎ A．He yelled back at the driver.

What’s more, they cannot only share their experience of learning English with others, but also watch English films and listen to English songs.However, others who are against say that it is a waste of time and energy. Besides, it is easy for the students to be addicted to the online games or chatting with others rather than learning English. In my opinion, we can benefit a lot with the Internet if we can use it properly in learning English.‎
