One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane（车道）when, suddenly, a lack car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire（轮胎）made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.
I was frightened. But then I couldn't believe what happened next.
The driver of the other car ,the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started Yelling at us. I couldn't believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital!"
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Rubbish truck(垃圾车法则)."He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it and sometimes they'll　throw it at you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don't take　their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life's too short to wake up in the morning, with regrets, so love those who love you and pray（祈祷）for those who don't.

Switzerland is one of the most developed countries in Europe. It is famous as one of the cleanest countries in the world.
The Swiss think that recycling is very important. The government has made laws (法律) which require everyone to recycle. In 1998, the Swiss government passed a law which says that people can not throw away any electronic machines. Instead, people are told to bring old ones, such as televisions, computers and fridges, to special centers when they didn’t need them. Many parts of the old machines are reused, and only the parts that can’t be used are thrown away. The government also charges(收费) a rubbish bag tax(税收). If people want their rubbish to be collected, they must buy yellow stickers(张贴物) and put them on their rubbish bags. In 2003, 47% of all rubbish in the cities was recycled. This included 70% of paper, 95%of glass, 71%of plastic bottles and 85—90%of cans. Until recently, people could get a small amount of money when they recycled their bottles. Recycling has become a daily habit for the Swiss.
Everyone should learn from the Swiss, and our country will be clean like Switzerland.
( )71. According to the passage, Switzerland is famous for .
A. its food B. its watches
