How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss, or an insensitive（迟钝的）employee 36 your day?

One day I was in a taxi and we headed 37 the airport．We were driving in the 38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his 39 ，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and 40 the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started 41 at us．

My taxi driver just 42 and waved at the guy．And I mean he was really 43 ．So I asked，“Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”(垃圾车定律)．

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of 44 ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage 45 up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 46 . Don’t take it personally: Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on．

Believe me. You’ll be 47 ．Don’t take their garbage and 48 it to other people at work, at home，or on the streets．Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 50 in your life, Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you 5l bad things more often than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you 52 them more frequently．

Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don’t．Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 53 it!

When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life! You make room for the good by 54 go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 55 the harvest you will reap tomorrow．

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close fried in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 36 teaches that he is right. Good friendship is just not easily 37 　.

　 It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to 38 . However, there can be 39 disagreement in the need for each of us to think carefully about what kind of friendship we want.

　 To most of us, 40 are considered very important, but we need to make it clear in our minds what kind of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 41 at arm’s length? Do we want to 42 ourselves or do we want to walk on surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 43 enough and that’s all right. But at some point we need to make sure that our 44 are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of 45 experiences including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to 46 friendships. But it must be undertaken（进行）slowly and 47 only if there are signs of interest and action 48 .

　 What are some of the 49 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships 　50 time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “ 51” the other, including his time and attention. 52 friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must give as 53 as you take. Finally, there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend 54 time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die 55 　.

Not being that 　3 with this road and not knowing 　4 all the pot holes in the road were, I topped a hill and right in my path was a big pot hole．I felt and heard the familiar sound of a flat tire．I 5 as far to the right as possible and stopped．I tried several times to change the tire, but 6 ．

There I sat out in the countryside and no way to 　7 with anybody．Just then, I looked in my rear(后面的） view mirror and a 　8 was pulling out of a pasture（牧场） behind me．I was happy but 　9 at the same time．

We got the tire fixed 14 he took me back to my car．My husband had been 15　 us anxiously there until we got back．The kind stranger stayed there and helped my husband 　16 the tire．After they finished we 　17 thanked him and offered to pay him for his 18 ．

I will never forget his words, "Your thanks are 　19 enough pay and I just hope if this ever happens to my wife or daughter someone will be so 　20 as to help them．"
