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 1you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this2at the back of a taxi in New York.

We were driving fast in the right lane (车道)when suddenly, a black car jumped3a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake(刹车)as hard as possible, and at the4moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I couldn't5what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started6bad words. But then here's what really7me. 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 8us!" 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. 9their 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 be10.”

 I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and11it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad12people 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。

    This is a story about a famous scientist. After reading it，you may know what made him 1 from others.He said all his success came from an experience that happened2 he was five years old.At that time，he tried to take 3 bottle of milk away from the fridge.However，the bottle 4 and the milk was all over the kitchen floor.

    When his mother came in，instead of shouting at 5 ， she said，"Ben，what a great mess you have made!I have never 6 such a big puddle of milk.Would you like to play in the milk 7 a few minutes before we clean it up？

    Actually，he did.After a few minutes，his mother said，"Ben，you have made a mess like this，8 you need to clean it up.9 would you like to do that？With a towel or a mop（拖把）？"He  10 the towel and they cleaned up the milk together.

    Then his mother said，"You were not able 11 a big milk bottle with your small hands in the kitchen.Let's 12 the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without  13 it."Finally，the

boy learned that if he held the bottle with14 hands，he could carry it and it wouldn't drop.

    From then on，the boy knew he didn't need to be afraid15 making mistakes.It was more important for him to find a way to correct the mistakes.

    Growing up is not always easy. When facing difficulties, courage and a spirit of independence can be more useful than crying for help. That's what the story I've heard recently tells me.

    The young man was born in1982 in a1 family in a small town. When he was only 11, his father became mentally ill and one day came back with an abandoned(被遗弃的) baby girl. A year later, his mother left home with his younger brother because she couldn't2 hard life and pressure from her mad husband. The 12-year-old boy began to3 his whole family: he took care of not only his sick father, but also the little girl. At the same time, he didn't give up studying. Later he went to college. To care for the little girl, he rented a room near his college and finished her education4doing part-time jobs.

    After the young man's story went public, people were deeply impressed by his behavior5 his life was hard, he didn't abandon his father and his sister because they needed his help very much. And he 6 donations from others. He said he felt encouraged because of kind 7 but he could depend on his own work. With his hard-won money, he 8helped other students in trouble.

    Today when many young people worry more about their own happiness, this young man's behavior reminds us of 9we don't usually pay attention to: love and care for others. Nobody could continue to live without these.

    Through his hard life, the young man is regarded as a10 in people's eyes. So when facing difficulties, don't complain bad luck. Consider what more you could do for your family and society, and you'll find the world smiling back.

    It's never too old to run. This is quite true for an old man named Ray. He just finished 75 marathons (马拉松) in 75 days at the age of 75. It's a record (记录) 1 can believe!

    Ray wanted to raise ￡75,000 for a school which helps children with special 2. So he decided to run the marathons. He began his challenge (挑战) in July 3 his 75^th birthday.

    At first, the 4 man just finished most of his marathons in and around his hometown. Then he 5 all over the world to finish all 75 marathons.

    Ray was a sportsman when he was young. He also ran a big company before. During the marathons, he need 6 to keep fit. But he didn't need to worry about that. Ray's daughter is good at cooking. She cooked delicious and healthy food for him for the 7 challenge.

    When Ray finished his 8 marathon, he seemed to be in quite good condition (状态良好). He was very happy. But he said, “In some way, I don't want it to end. I 9 what I am going to do next.”

    “It was a wonderful time when I gave something to schools. If I can help, that's all I want.” Truly, it's never too late to run and 10.

    A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need some hearing aid (助听). Not quite sure how to 1 her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there was a simple test the husband could do to give the doctor a better 2 of her hearing loss.

    "Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a 3 conversational speaking tone (音调) see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then20 feet, and so on 4 you get a reply."

    That evening, the wife was in the 5, and he was in the yard. He said to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, and let me see what will happen." Then in a usual tone he asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    No 6.

    So the husband moved closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    7 no reply.

    Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20 feet from his wife and 8, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    Again he got no reply. He walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there was no reply.

    So he 9 right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    "Chicken! James, for the 10 time I've said that."
