It was 1958. I was eighteen and was working as a nurse in a rural town west of Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days   ____  from duty after working overtime for some time.    ___, the only train that day back to my hometown, over 270 km away, had already   ___.    I thought I'd thumb a lift.
I waited by the side of the   ____  for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and   ____  himself as Gordon. He said that   ____  he couldn't give me a lift, I could come to his house, which was across the road, for lunch. He'd been watching me and thought I must be   ____  after standing for hours. I hesitated but he assured me I was   ____, and he also offered to help me find a   ____  home afterwards.
When we arrived at Gordon's   ____, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he stopped a car, which took me to my hometown.
Then I got married, but my husband didn't believe in giving   ____  a ride. This made me feel   ____  when we'd pass people waiting on the roadside, as I could   ____  offer them the lift they hoped for.
Twenty­five years later, in 1983, I was driving alone to a nearby town, when I   ____  an elderly man with a small boy, standing in the glaring heat, trying to   ____   a ride. I saw my chance to repay someone for the   ____   I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked the   ____  up. I made them comfortable on the back seat and   ____  some water and sweets.
After a few minutes of small talk, the man said to me,“You haven't changed a bit,   ____ your red hair is still the same.” I couldn't   ____  where I'd met him. He then told me he was Gordon.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do        . When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other         when you choose your food. You may         it because it smells good or because it         good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice.
Different         use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many         types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one         type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the       . A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other        in the garden. However, most animals have a more         diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The         of these animals will be different depending on the season.
       have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is       for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much        . This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal        , such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modem life.

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee      your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed      the airport. We were driving in the right lane      suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly      the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started      at us.
My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really     . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.
He       that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of     , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage      up, they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on     . Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be more     . Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with     . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s       in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you       bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you      them more frequently.
So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you       it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by       go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day!Have a marvelous, garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today      the harvest you reap tomorrow.

I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone.       I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this challenge to find out.
Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Channel App to find out what to      . On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but       I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.
I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a       for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for       friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And      , I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late.
Getting places was harder, too. I got       because I couldn’t use the GPS (汽車導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot       because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while       with the other.
But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (聯(lián)絡(luò)簿). I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I       the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn’t       my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!
Even with all the problems, however, I found       not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail.
This       was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the       things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend       on our cell phones.
