My little angel, you are teaching me how selfless real love is!

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a/an       season, while for me, it is an annoying season. Tired from preparing for Postgraduate Entrance Examination, I decided to have a       along the Yanjiang Road in my university.
  “Autumn is a lonely season and life is       . The days in this season always get me down ”, I was in deep thought when the sound of a guitar       into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. I was so surprised that I ran to see what it was. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was       in playing her guitar. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.
   Lost in the music, I did not realize that I had been standing for so long. But my _ __ did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. During the rest of the days in the season, life became interesting and I could  __  the courses carefully. Though we did not know each other, I thought we were always good friends.
   Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening  __, the sound suddenly stopped. To my astonishment, the girl came       to me.
  “You must like the music,” she said.
  “Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
   Suddenly, a ___ expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here just to have a rest because I failed in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day __ encouraged me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”
  “____, it was your playing that gave me a meaningful autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the chance to know each other and we should be good friends
   She smiled and I smiled.
   Since then, I have never seen her again. I no longer passed by that ___. Only thick leaves were _    behind. But I will always remember the ___ of the girl. It was her appearance that helped me passed the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.
   We may encounter many people in our lives. Some are like a shooting star, but      so much light that they guide you in the correct _  ; some are like _ in you, they are always with you, but do not understand you. Just as a famous saying, many people     in your life, but only true friends leave footprints.

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?
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab. One day I was in a taxi and we headed        the airport. We were driving in the       lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us.  My taxi driver slammed on his      , slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and       the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car , the guy who almost caused a big accident, looked around and started       at us.
My taxi driver just       and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was        ,so I said,"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 said, “ 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 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       .”
So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and        it to other people at work, at home, or on the street? It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”
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. See, 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 more 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!The odds are against you when a Garbage Truck comes your way, but 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.
