How often do you let other people’s rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how _____ you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this _____ at the back of a taxi in New York.

We were driving fast in the right lane (车道) when suddenly, a black car jumped _____ a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake (刹车) as hard as possible, and at the _____ moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started _____ bad words. But then here’s what really _____ me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved (挥手致意) at the guy. I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy nearly _____ us!” He told me what I now remember “The Law of the Garbage (垃圾)Truck.”

He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. _____ their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they’ll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don’t feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be _____.”

I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and ______ it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。

Alice in Wonderland

Chapter 2

Alice was not hurt, so she jumped to her feet in a moment. She looked up, and found the White Rabbit was still in sight. She was close behind it when she turned the comer, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen. She found herself in a long, low hall.

There were doors all around the hall, but they were all locked.

Alice walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.

Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table. There was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and Alice’s first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.

But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door. She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted!
