Each time I was feeling disappointed, my mother would say to me “ Tomorrow will be another day. If you can       on, some day something nice will happen. And you will come to know that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous         .”
What mother said was absolutely right, as I         after my graduation from college. I had made up my mind to try for a          in radio, then         my way up to sports announcer. I went to Springfield and knocked on the door of each station—and got       each time. In one studio, a warm-hearted woman told me that         stations couldn’t risk employing a(n)        person. “ Please go out to the faraway or lonely district and find a small station which will give you a         ,” she said. I came back home to St-Louis.
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in St-Louis, my father said Wards Holding Corporation had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its         department. Since St-Louis was where I had played high school football, I         . The job sounded just         for me. But I wasn’t employed. My disappointment must have         . “Tomorrow will be another day,” Mom         me. I tried WOC in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The program director, Jack Green, told me they had already hired an         .
As I went away from his office, my frustration boiled over (爆发). I asked         , “How can a young man get to be a sports announcer if he cannot get a job in a radio station?” I was just patiently waiting for the elevator          I heard Jack Green calling, “What did you say about sports just now? You mean you know something about football?” Then he stood me         a microphone and told me to         an imaginary game.
On the way to my home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words. From time to time I         what direction my life might have taken if I had had the job at Wards Holding Corporation

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.

A man was walking along the street when he saw a woman struggling with a large package（包裹）. It was half in and half out of her car.
He was a         kind of man so he went up to the woman and said, "Let me give you a hand with that package. It looks very        ."

"Let's pause for a minute," the man said. "You're right. It really is        ."
They paused for a few         to wipe the perspiration from their faces and get their breath back.
Then the man said, "Let's try again. Are you        ?"
They         took hold of the package again.

Standing       the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak       my husband used to love it.       a woman came up beside me.

She saw me       her and she smiled. “My husband loves T-bone steaks, but they are so expensive.”
“My husband       away eight days ago,” I told her, and       to control the sadness in my voice, “Buy him the T-bone steaks. And       every moment you have together.”
     by my words, she placed the steaks in her basket and walked away      . But several minutes later she came towards me again,       a package in her arms. She was       the brightest smile I had ever seen.
As she      , I saw what she held. “These are for you,” she placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses       for me, but, unable to speak, only watching her walking away.
Looking down at the roses, I wondered       she knew it. Suddenly the answer seemed so      . I wasn’t alone. There were       many people caring for me and willing to help me. Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this      .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and      . All the students were working       a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no       of stopping. I walked down the row and found       was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my      , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on       I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to      .
After another ten minutes, the students were       to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox. Then Donna     hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to      . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the       of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and       your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to       the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is       by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in      . Amen!”
She turned the students       and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the       of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student       and said, “I Can’t,” Donna       pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.   

Tess was a precocious(早熟) eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad taling about her little brother,Andrew.____ __she knw was that he was very sick and they were completely _____money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills and their house .Only a(n) _____could save him now.
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly(果冻) jar from its hiding place. She poured all the     out on the floor and counted carefully. Three times,even.The total had to be absolutely exact. No      here for mistakes. After carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door, and     her way six blocks to a chemist’s.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some     ,but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her       with the most awful sound she could muster. No good.
Finally the pharmacist asked in an      tone of voice, “What do you want? I’m talking to my brother from Chicago      I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad      inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry,        I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice        a little.
There was a man there whose clothes were admirable. He asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know” Tess replied with tears in her eyes. “I just know he's        sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay       it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.
“A dollar and eleven cents ― the       price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man, “Take me to        you live. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was completely        charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and did well.
Mom and Dad were happy but they wonder how much the operation would have       . Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the        of a little child.
