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.

I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone.       I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this challenge to find out.
Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Channel App to find out what to      . On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but       I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.
I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a       for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for       friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And      , I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late.
Getting places was harder, too. I got       because I couldn’t use the GPS (汽车导航系统) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot       because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while       with the other.
But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (联络簿). I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I       the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn’t       my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!
Even with all the problems, however, I found       not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail.
This       was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the       things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend       on our cell phones.

I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law. Let us take a      , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an)     were accepted.
Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction(分散注意力) of TV, they might    together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our   ----everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of    illness ----are caused at least in part by    to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to     our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is     , families could discover more active pastimes(娱乐). Freed from TV and forced to find their own activities, they might take a     together to watch the sunset    they might take a walk together.
     free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in       than in a TV program.       report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,       at the college level.    is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour. A different form of reading might also be done     it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the    ends, the TV networks might be forced to    with better shows in order to get us back from our newly- discovered activities.
At first glance, this idea seems radical(激进的).    will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can    childhoods without television. It wasn't that difficult.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I      teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I     the same things thousand and one times, do not      me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story    you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a    , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I     , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my     little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you     to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life.
When at some moment I lose the memory or the     of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you      to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well      I need to and when not. When my     legs do not allow me to walk, give me your     , the same way I did when you gave your first   .   And when someday I say to you that I do not want to      any more -that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,      my mistakes, I always wanted the      thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, or angry for seeing me      you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you      living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and     . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, son.
Your father

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 (节能) 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 (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help         property owners from rising power        .

Mark Twain said that "habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed(劝诱) downstairs a step at a time. " The chances of successfully changing negative behavior    when you make gradual changes that give you time to _   _ negative patterns for positive ones.
On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and _   _ to begin to change a given behavior "today." Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time      or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high       . In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing    it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not       if they start with the change itself.      , they believe that we must        a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that       change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that       what you do ,you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most     problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to      when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose after doing       on an exam, you say to yourself, “I can not believe I failed that easy exam. I am so stupid.”By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational,   statements about what is really going on, you can increase the       that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be     as follows: "I really didn't study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next     ”.
Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from      and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully      or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on (沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.
