Question

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 _____ 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_____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。
