Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life____in the back of a New City taxi.
I was on my____to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right way when a black car____sped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My driver hit the brakes(刹车) hard, and____the other car by a few centimeters. The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started____at us. My taxi driver just smiled and moved his hand. He was really ____!
“Why did you just do that?” I asked him, “This guy almost destroyed your car and____have sent us to the hospital!” This was when my taxi driver told me____I now call “the Law of Garbage Trucks(垃圾车)”.
“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of____and full of disappointment,” he said. “____their garbage is more and more, they need a place to dump(丢弃) it, and if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump garbage on you, just smile, move your hand, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be ____ because of what you have done.
I started thinking, ____do I let garbage trucks run right 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 ‘m not going to dump ____”
Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks influence them. What about you? If you let more garbage trucks pass you by, you’ll be happier. Life is too short to ____ in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right. ____ the ones who don’t.

When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was certainly terrible. I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy:
First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.
Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th.
Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to be as if the holiday doesn't exist, you are just going to make it worse.
Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some special traditions in their home. Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.
Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe (食谱) of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake.
Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree.
Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them.
If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while enjoying the new ones.
Title: Getting through Christmas
Introduction | It is nearly 1. for the writer to go home for Christmas. |
2. moments for Christmas | 1.Prepare food, candles and something 3. for Christmas. 2.If you try to be as if the holiday doesn't exist, you will lose friendship with your loved ones. 3.Something 4. may be held on to from your home and also may be created by you own. 4.Your parents are happy to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments for your tree. |
