“Tell me, Wally,” my amazed friend asked the driver, “have you always served customers like this?”
Wally smiled into the back-view mirror.
“No, not always. In fact, it’s only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the taxi drivers do. Then I heard the personal growth of Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day. He had just written a book called You’ll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, ‘Stop complaining! Distinguish yourself from your competition. Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles fly high above the crowd.’”
“That hit me right between the eyes. Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other taxis and their drivers. The taxis were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.”
“I take it that has paid off for you,” I said.
“It sure has,” Wally replied. “My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I’ll probably quadruple(增四倍) it. You were lucky to get me today. I don’t sit at taxi-stands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can’t pick them up myself, I get a trustworthy friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.”
Wally was phenomenal. He was running a first-class service out of a Yellow Taxi.
I’ve probably told that story to more than fifty taxi drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn’t do any of what I was suggesting.
Wally, the Taxi Driver, made a different choice.
51.   The underlined word “phenomenal” means ______.
A．easy-going           B．warm-hearted      C．flexible              D．remarkable
52.   Wally doesn’t park his taxi at taxi-stands just because _______.
A．his income doubles.
B．his taxi is usually fully booked
C．he has a company of his own.
D．he has a look of a disgusting eagle
53.   Wally’s income doubled when he improved his service about ______.
A．one year ago                                        B．two years ago
C．five years ago                                       D．seven years ago
54.   After reading the passage we may draw a safe conclusion that ______.
A．kindness must be rewarded
B．it’s easy to say but hard to do
C．good service pays off in the end
D．the early bird catches the worm

Last year I was put into a lower-level math class at school. The reason I was in this class had

The only problem with being in this class was that I was   23  by "at-risk" students, who did not perform well in school and were   24   in trouble with the school and the law.

I like to give my praise to anyone whenever and wherever I can. I'll tell you why.

And yet,   47  moat of us are only too ready to  48  to others the cold wind of criticism, we are  49  to give our fellows the warm  50  of praise. Why one word of praise can bring such pleasure?
It's  51  how chary(吝惜的) we are about praising. Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept it. It's especially  52  to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes  53 
or unmentioned. Do you, however,   54  tell your laundry(洗衣店) manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? In fact, to give praise costs the giver  55  but a moment's though and a moment's effort.

B
British science-fiction writer Sir Arthur Charles Clarke has been buried in his adopted country of Sri Lanka.                                         
Music from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey was played at the funeral and members of the family cried as his coffin was lowered.
"Here lies Arthur Charles Clarke. He never grew up and did not stop growing, his gravestone in Colombo is to read, in accordance with the author' s wishes.
Sir Arthur died from heart failure and breathing problems at the age of 90.
A nationwide one-minute silence was ordered by the Sri Lankan government to coincide with the ceremony.
Sir Arthur' s brother, Fred Clarke, attended the funeral along with members of the Ekanayake family, with whom the writer had lived in recent years.
Fred Clarke said his elder brother had always loved the warm climate and the friendly people of Sir Lanka.
"He said he had managed to escape 40 British winters and had no regrets," Mr. Clarke told AFP news agency.
Tamara Ekanayake, who grew up at Sir Arthur' s home in Colombo, paid tribute to him, "We feel so proud that you left your mark on us. Your footprint will never fade (褪去).”
Before the funeral, yellow roses were thrown on to Sir Arthur' s body as a final gesture of respect as it lay on a white bed beneath curved elephant tusks.
