     Was he dreaming? David Ewart saw a red ball of fire. He shot out of a deep sleep and heard his
ten-year-old daughter, Heather, screaming. Ewart jumped out of bed on the second floor of  his home.
Downstairs he heard loud popping noises, glass bulbs, furniture, appliances exploding as fire consumed
them.
     Three hundred and fifty people, including friends and family members, had attended Ewart's annual
Christmas party at his home in Valencia, California. David was a giver. They all enjoyed
themselves. After the party, he and his 77-year-old mother, Esther, put out the candles all but one,
missed and left burning on a holiday paper tablecloth.
     Now, as Ewart started down the hall to alert his parents and three children, he said a silent
prayer: God, if it is your will, save us. The heat was hellish(地獄般的). But then he felt a hand on his
shoulder and something that was not quite a voice guiding him, giving him the direction: the bedroom 
window.
     He kicked out the window screen and told Heather to jump onto the patio(院子) cover, crawl
to the edge and drop to the ground, the feet below. Next he headed for his two sons, Jonathan, 13, 
and Michael, 15, who were screaming with pain. David led Jonathan to the window. He returned for
Michael, who was now helping his grandparents, trapped in their room behind a jammed door.
Michael threw himself against it and finally burst through. David guided his mother, then Michael, 
to safety.
     Only his father remained. The 81-year-old's face was badly burned. He lost his footing and fell. 
David took his hand and helped him to the window. Too weak to hold on, his father rolled off the
patio cover to the ground.
     Finally,David escaped. Second later, the second floor exploded, yet all the while, he felt he was 
being led, under protection. The family survived and firefighters said they were mystified(迷惑) as to
how the family survived. David Ewart was not..

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。
A
The key to happiness is how quickly you can get back your focus on what’s important.
-----Anonymous
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.
36.What happened one day when the author was taking a taxi?
A.The taxi almost hit another car.
B.The taxi driver was injured.
C.The author scolded the driver of the other car.
D.The author learned a lesson from the driver of the garbage truck.
37.How did the taxi driver respond to the behaviour of the driver of the black car?
A.He yelled back at the driver.         B.He sent the driver to the hospital.
C.He was friendly towards the driver.     D.He dumped some garbage in front of his car.
38.What does the taxi driver think of people according to Paragraph 3?
A.Many people like to drive garbage trucks.
B.Many people dump garbage wherever they like.
C.Many people are warm-hearted to make others happy.
D.Many people tend to be very much depressed.
39.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.The author used to have a lot of garbage trucks.
B.The author used to complain a lot.
C.The author used to have a lot of money.
D.The author used to be a good manager.
40.According to the passage, what should you do if people “dump garbage” on you?
A.Ignore them and go on with our own work.
B.Try our best to persuade them not to do that again.
C.Tell them to dump the garbage in the right place.
D.Take over their work and carry the garbage to somewhere else.
