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.

    It was a very foggy morning in London. The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see more than a foot or so. Buses, cars and taxis were stopped along the roadside, unable to move because the drivers couldn't 1. People were trying to walk to their destinations, but most were losing their 2 in the fog.

    Mr. Smith had a very important meeting at the House of Commons, but he was not familiar with the area and 3 could take him there in such heavy fog. So he was a little 4. He was trying to find his way in the fog. Soon, however, he realized that he was lost. 5he bumped into a stranger. Mr. Smith said sorry to the stranger and then asked him whether he 6 help him find his way. The stranger said it was a piece of cake and 7to take Mr. Smith to the meeting place. Mr. Smith thanked him and they started to walk. The fog was getting thicker and thicker every minute but the stranger had no difficulty in finding the way. They went along one street, turned down another, 8a square and at last, after about half an hour, they arrived at the meeting place.

    Mr. Smith couldn't understand how the stranger found his way. "It is wonderful," he said. "But 9 do you find the way in the thick fog?"

    "It is no trouble at all 10 me," said the stranger. "I am blind."

    It was snowing. The weather was pretty1. I went shopping and bought a pair of shoes for myself. After I2home, I put the shoes in the living room. Then I went to Jane's house to play computer games with her. We3together.

    4I came back to the living room, I was surprised to find that there were no my new shoes. I couldn't find 5anywhere. Just then, my mother came in. To my 6, she was wearing the new shoes. "Oh, my dear daughter! Thanks for 7me a great gift. This is the best gift I have got," she said to me8.

    I suddenly remembered that it was my mother's birthday. "Just now, I 9your gift to my friends by QQ. They all said you were a 10daughter!" I was ashamed(羞愧的) to hear that. This is the most special gift I have given to my mother.

    Mr. King is a very old man. He likes1dumplings very much. Every Sunday, he goes to a Chinese2near his home and eats dumplings for dinner. Ann works there as a waitress. She often3with the old man when he is there. The old man likes sharing his stories with people and soon they become good 4. Every time after Mr. King5his dinner, he always puts some coins on the table. The 6 is for Ann It's her tip (小费).

    One day, Mr. King asked Ann," Do you want some coins or half my lottery prize (乐透奖)as a tip?" Ann thought that he was making fun of her7she laughed and said, Half of8prize.”

    The next day, Mr. King won (赢得))the lottery prize and 9six million dollars. Then he went to the restaurant10and gave Ann the tip-half of his lottery prize！
