A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with  26  lace edges. On the glass partition that  27  the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  28  and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer  29  .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  30  .

“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a  31  of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as  32  as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  33  here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something  34  like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  35  be considerate and refrain from littering.”

“So when I got a  36  to be a taxi-driver, I began  37  my idea into practice-to tidy and  38  the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  39  after a day's work, it always remains  40  .”

When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the  41  but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes  42  on others much more than on oneself.   43  you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you  44  the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful  45  for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.

The House Fairy

   As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning their rooms and making their beds. But they thought   36  . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified shouting were landing on   37    ears. I felt frustrated (沮丧的) , and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their   38   into tears, I realized I needed to   39   my methods of “mothering”.

   One day while they were at school, I had great fun   40   their rooms. On their desks, in plain   41  , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was   42   to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy.”   43   arriving back, the children were   44   excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy         45   for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   46   asking them to play a certain violin   47  . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas   48  .

   Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little   49  : “If you can finish your homework today and   50   it before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   51

of jobs especially well done the day   52  .

      53   I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate (合适的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the   54   centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.

   We all benefited from and   55   the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.
