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.

To live his life in the world he has to live in        faith and love and courage.     , World, I        you would sort of take him by the hand and teach him that things he will have to know.

Teach him to sell his strength and brains to the highest bidder(出價人), but never to put a price on his       . Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob(暴徒) and to stand and        if he thinks he's right. Teach him gently, World, but don't        him, because only the        of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, World, but see what you can do. He is such a nice little fellow.

Our teacher asks us to keep a diary in English. I enjoy doing so because I          keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to      our English writing ability.
Compared with       forms of writing, it is shorter and       less time. It can help us to       the habit of thinking in English.         we persist in (堅持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English,         can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve        in or out of English classes to describe our        , and this way we can master and use freely       we’ve learned, which will do good         us in English learning. But      we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have       finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there        many idiomatic(慣用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them       English properly.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we          always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever         beats (難倒)us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for          , if necessary.
In short, I believe that it is of          use to keep a diary in English for the development of our          skills.

Maybe you know the saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this       when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while       the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this? Because criticisms are always        ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We      our own weakness and smallness.
A story in the old tales       the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king        both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and       after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone       than himself.
When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself.       Wise Nelson says that he was       to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.
Moral of the story is something about human      . Good people always look at their own       and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and       themselves more qualified than others.

Most interviewees are probably aware that interviewers are not supposed to ask them certain questions. There are some areas of special  in selection interviewing. Our goal here is to point out these     areas of questions and to suggest strategic ways to      them as an interviewee.
Courts have     that it's none of the company's business how many children an applicant has; or whether he or she is married,    or divorced. In this area, if you are asked an illegal question, you can give a general     ; saying elegantly: "I would prefer to stick to job-related questions:" Or you can be more     : "Are children a requirement for this position?"
   , many instances of illegal interview questions occur in' the course -of  getting-to-know-you small talk during an interview and aren't    by the interviewer as an invasion(侵犯)of your privacy. But innocent or not, illegal interview questions can     a company in court when a job seeker    discrimination in the interview process.
To    age discrimination in hiring, courts have disallowed these sorts of questions: "How old are you?" "When did you graduate from high school?" and so on. Managers get in trouble here when they talk about the average age of their workforce in    to -the candidate: "Our typical employee is probably 8 to 10 years older than you. Do you expect problems managing people older than yourself?" You can imagine the later court     . Manager: "But, Your Honor, I never asked her age!”Candidate: "My age seemed to be one of his key    about my ability to manage." And, of course, you can avoid all these disputes(爭執(zhí))by simply answering your employer: "Age has    been a consideration for me in my work life."
In another area of sex, an employer cannot ask questions about the person's gender(性別)  the job specifications strictly require either a male or a female. The burden of proof is on the   to demonstrate(論證)that only a man or a woman can do the job. Employers should be cautious: Courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have interpreted very    the concept that only one gender can perform a particular job.
