One day I got into a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right way when suddenly a black jeep jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver had to stop the car at once, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy, and I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost destroyed 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).”
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger(愤怒). As their garbage gets more, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it seriously. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and pass it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
Life’s too short , so...

　　Many people think New York is a noisy city, even inside the taxis. When you get into a taxi, you hear the voice of a well-known singer, a sport star or some other famous persons giving instructions. The voice of the famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message, “Cats have nine lives, but you have only one, so buckle your seat belt (系好安全带).” Other voices say things such as “Don't forget to take your things when you leave.”

　　Many people get annoyed by the voices. Taxi drivers also don't like the messages. “I play the messages 12 hours a day, I hear the same voice 60 times a day. It makes me crazy (发疯) ” says Amir, a taxi driver. “But if I don't play the messages, I'll get fined (罚款) 100 dollars.”A lot of passengers (乘客) complain (抱怨)too. “It's too much noise,” says a passenger, “I asked the driver to turn off the message, but he said he couldn't.”

　　Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says, “People like to hear the voice, they put on their seat belts more often.” And passengers from out of the city really like the idea. “Most of the time taxi drivers are in bad mood (心情),” says Melainie Benton, who visits New York often on business. “It's nice to hear such a voice when you get into a taxi.”
