These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they       wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often         to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a(an)      for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He     told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home     in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and    the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his        . Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found       job. He will soon be working in an office. He will earn much less than he used to, but he feels that his rise in      is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs'        'Alf'.

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.

When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones-the kind of modern, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines.But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be incredibly         to tear them all down and         them with greener versions.
An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses.And it would take an average of 65 years for the         carbon emissions (排放) from a(an) __    _ energy-efficient (節(jié)能) home to make up for the         lost by destroying an old one.
So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built.But at the same time,          half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our          , offices and other buildings."You can't deal with climate         without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.
With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the         energy-efficient.Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that         over time and let in more outside        .
     ,there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from       ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home.And efficiency upgrades (升級(jí)) can save more than just the earth; they can help         property owners from rising power        .
