The Golden Gate Bridge, the first sight for many people arriving in the United States by ship, is a well-recognized landmark, which spans(横跨) the Golden Gate Strait.The idea for a bridge across the strait had been around for many years, but it was not easy to get the project started. The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933. The construction work set new standards for safety----workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative（革新的） safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built. The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937, which was finished ahead of schedule.
Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project. However, he had little experience with the construction of suspension（悬浮）bridges. For this reason, other engineers, architects, and designers made great contributions to the design and construction of the bridge. For example, the bridge owes its art style and unique orange color to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. Charles Alton Ellis was the main engineer on the project and did much of the technical work necessary to build the bridge.
Today, the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet and a total length of 8,981 feet, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. The bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. The towers supporting the huge cables (巨缆) rise 746 feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. About 40 million cars cross the bridge every year. There are foghorns（雾角）to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraft beacons（信号灯）on the tops of the towers to stop planes from crashing into them.

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? The mark of a successful person is how 36 he can get back his focus on what is important.
Two years ago I gained the knowledge about the Law of the Garbage Truck. I 37 it in a taxi. I got on a taxi, and we headed for Grand Central Station. We were 38 in the right lane(行车道) when 39 a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brakes(刹车)heavily, and 40 the car’s back end by just inches!
The driver almost caused a(n) 41 , saying bad words at us. My t
axi driver just smiled and waved at the guy 42 . So, I said, “This guy almost 43 your car and sent us to the 44 !” On the way to the Grand Central Station, my taxi driver told me what I now 45 “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 46 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage becomes more, they needed a(n) 47 to dump(扔) it. When someone wants to dump it on you, don’t 48 it. You just smile, wish them well, and focus on important things quickly.
Good leaders know they have to be 49 for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Good 50 and parents know what is 51 for them. The bottom line is that 52 people do not let garbage Trucks take over their day.
Life is too 53 to wake up in the morning with 54 , so take your time and love the peop
le who treat you right. 55 about the ones who don’t. Don’t be regretful for your life.| 小题1:. |

A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provid
es answers---free of charge--- for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be 
able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet.Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and they’ll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.”
The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.”
In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.
