In the corridor(通道，走廊) 49 my room, voices came near enough for me to hear Christmas carols（颂歌） being 50 ．Suddenly, there, four airmen, identities unknown, were slightly unsteadied by holiday 51 ．The first held a Coke bottle with a lit candle 52 its top．The others formed a dancing line behind him.

53 I was in the room, with joyful faces in the flickering(摇曳的) light, they sang me several carols, wished me a 54 and left as fast as they had arrived.

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 employee your day?

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed the airport. We were driving in the lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his , slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started at us.

My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was ,so I said，"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".

He said, “ Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on . Don’t take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be .”

So 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 at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”

Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you __ bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you __ them more frequently. So love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you _ it！The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but when you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by go of the bad.

Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today the harvest you reap tomorrow.

While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy (妊娠期) with my second child, we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana, where Marshall’s family live, to celebrate Jane’s 2nd birthday. Two days before we were to leave, we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby. Not knowing when this would happen, we decided to continue with our trip.

Since Marshall’s family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm, you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there. That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time. I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there. I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good, so he went out and got the first one for me.

During that trip, I totally got lost in the book, which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness. In the book, I noticed the name “Seamus”. I vaguely remembered it was pronounced “Shamus” and I liked the sound of that. I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too. Toward the end of the trip, I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book, which I was pretty excited about.

Soon after we put Jane down to bed, I had started labor (分娩), so I was unable to read. The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours, but Marshall stayed there with me, sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter. I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience. And ever since then, Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books. We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives.

We were sad to have lost the baby, but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption. And we gave this name to our adopted son. Though our Seamus doesn’t have a drop of Irish blood in him, the name fits him perfectly.

1.Why did the writer want a good book during the trip?

A. Because the trip to Louisiana would take a long time.

B. Because she didn’t want to think of losing her baby.

C. Because she had nothing else to do except reading.

D. Because a good book could help her enjoy her trip.

A. made the family’s trip more exciting

B. include five books all together

C. have someone called Seamus in them

D. can help people deal with their problems

3.The writer named her son Seamus because ___________________.

A. They planned their trip after getting the shocking news.

B. They thought the cattle farm was too large to do anything on.

D. They liked reading Harry Porter very much after the trip.

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

I can’t count how many times people have complained, while shaking their heads in obvious disappointment,“just don’t know what is with teenagers today.”

The other day I was in my car on my way to the farmers market when I passed two teens standing by the side of the road with a car washing sign. My car was filthy and my heart was full, so I pulled over. There was a group directing the cars and another group spraying them down. As sponges(海绵) were wiped over every square inch of my dirty car, I sat enjoying the little water bottles. I was amazed at why forty to fifty teenagers had devoted their Saturday to washing cars.

After I handed them a twenty-dollar bill I asked what they were raising money for. They explained to me that a friend of theirs, C.T.Schmitz, had recently died of cancer. He was only fifteen years old. He had gone to school with a lot of the teenagers who were there that day and each of them had memories of a boy sweeter than any they had known. His friend Kevin had decided to put this car wash together because he wanted to honor his friend and also bring together his classmates with his boy scout troop(童子军). He told me that they wanted to plant a tree in front of their school and if they raised enough money they would put a plaque(纪念匾) there also. Both would be in memory of their friend C.T.

They handed me a bag of homemade cookies with my receipt(收据) saying“Thanks for helping us plant a tree of C.T.”

Yeah! I don’t know what is with teenagers today!
