完形填空

Sixteen years ago, I learnedan important life1in the back of a New City taxi.

I was on my2to Grand Central Station, andwe were driving in the right way when a black car3sped out of a parking spaceright in front of us.

My driver hit the brakes(刹车) hard, and4the other car by a few centimeters.The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident,started5at us. My taxi driver just smiledand moved his hand. He was really6!

"Why did you just do that?"I asked him, "This guy almost destroyed your car and7have sent us to the hospital!"This was when my taxi driver told me8I now call "the Law ofGarbage Trucks (垃圾车)".

"Many people are like garbagetrucks. They run around full of garbage, full of9and full of disappointment,"he said. "10their garbage is more and more,they need a place to dump(丢弃) it, and if you let them, they'lldump it on you. So when someone wants to dump garbage on you, just smile, move yourhand, wish them well, and move on. You'll be11 because of what you have done.

I started thinking,12do I let garbage trucks runright over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people– at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said: "I'mnot going to dump13."

Successful people do not letGarbage Trucks influence them. What about you? If you let more garbage trucks passyou by, you'll be happier. Life is too short to14 in the morning with regrets. So, love the peoplewho treat you right.15 the ones who don't.

Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to write a book.

The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes (塞万提斯), and the book was Don Quixote (《堂吉诃德》). And the story brings an interesting question: why do some people find new energy and creativity to the end of their days, but others go to seed long before?

We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark. I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can't all get there. I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have taken in the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.

Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere.

The things we learn in maturity (成熟) seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things we can't change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us-an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.

With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something

larger than our own little egos (自我) , whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.

Many of us regard "commitment" with such "caring" jobs as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence whether they are driving a truck or running a store make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They've learned life's most valuable lesson.
