One day I got into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were1on the right side when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of 2 . My taxi driver stopped at once and missed the other 3 by just inches ( 英寸)！

  The driver of the other car turned his head quickly4 and started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really5. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost broke your car and sent us to the 6!" This is when my taxi driver 7me what I now call “The Law of the Rubbish Truck”.

He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around of rubbish, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their rubbish grows, they need a place to empty it and 8they'll empty it onto you. Don't9it personally, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take the rubbish and 10it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

    I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

    It was an amazing week for my husband and me ——the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my1  to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to look after our two children and started off.

    During the week's time, we visited London and Paris ——as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful 2we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    On our last night in Paris, after we enjoyed the night view of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother3the phone. In a second, my husband's face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something4 happened.

    “What's wrong?” I asked.

    He didn't answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said5to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and 6 his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

    At that moment, Paris 7lost its charm(魅力).

    “I don't want to be here! I shouldn't be here! I should be home with my kids!”

    We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …

Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children's bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no 8 sight in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.
