The back door of the ambulance(救护车) was suddenly shut and the driver ran to the front, jumped into his seat, and started the engine. Inside were the 36 parents, Mr and Mrs Green, the mother holding their baby daughter Ally. The little girl had 37 food stuck in her throat and could hardly breathe.
The driver, Mr white, 38 his siren (报警器) and flashing light, and started speeding towards the nearest hospital, fighting against _39 _. The cars ahead of him pulled out of the way as he drove through the 40. From the back of the 41 the parents were shouting at him to 42 , since Ally had almost stopped 43 . In front of him he saw some traffic lights, with the red “STOP” light shining. Mr White knew that he had no time to 44 , so he drove straight past the traffic lights, looking 45 his left and right as he did so.
Coming towards him from his right was a taxi. The driver had the windows 46 , since the car was air-conditioned, and he was playing his radio. He did not 47 the ambulance. The lights were green, so he drove straight 48 into the path of the ambulance.
Mr White tried to stop his ambulance but it was too late. It hit the taxi. Everybody was shaken but no one was hurt. Mr White looked to see 49 little Ally was. He was astonished to see relief (宽慰) instead of 50 on the faces of the parents.
“Look!” cried Mrs Green. “She is 51 again.”
“It must have been the 52 .” said her husband. “It 53 the food out of her throat.” The baby’s color was turning to normal, and she was crying in a loud but healthy 54 .
They were all joyful, and quite forgot about the accident, the taxi, and the lines of 55 all around them.

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? The mark of a successful person is how 36 he can get back his focus on what is important.
Two years ago I gained the knowledge about the Law of the Garbage Truck. I 37 it in a taxi. I got on a taxi, and we headed for Grand Central Station. We were 38in the right lane(行车道) when 39a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brakes(刹车)heavily, and 40 the car’s back end by just inches!
The driver almost caused a(n) 41 , saying bad words at us. My t
axi driver just smiled and waved at the guy 42 . So, I said, “This guy almost 43 your car and sent us to the 44 !” On the way to the Grand Central Station, my taxi driver told me what I now 45 “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”
“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 46 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage becomes more, they needed a(n) 47 to dump(扔) it. When someone wants to dump it on you, don’t 48 it. You just smile, wish them well, and focus on important things quickly.
Good leaders know they have to be 49 for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Good 50 and parents know what is 51 for them. The bottom line is that 52 people do not let garbage Trucks take over their day.
Life is too 53 to wake up in the morning with 54 , so take your time and love the peop
le who treat you right. 55 about the ones who don’t. Don’t be regretful for your life.

My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow 16.
Helen was in her 30s and had extraordinary（非凡的） self-confidence, something I was really 17. I looked up to Helen 18 she was doing what she loved— 19 people better. She always made everyone, customers（顾客） and co-workers（同事）, 20and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my 21 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet（炒蛋）, and when I saw him _22 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the newfound confidence I 23 __from Helen, I dreamed of having my own __24 . But when I called my parents to ask for a loan（贷款）, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
The next day, Fred saw me and asked, “What’s 25? You’re not smiling today.” I 26__my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody 27just have faith in （信任）me.”
Before long he handed me checks 28 __$50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（抵押品）on this loan is my trust（信任） in your 29as a person. Good people with a dream should have 30 __to make that dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 31 __working at the restaurant, making 32for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured（被破灭）, though, and I lost the 33.
Later I decided to apply for a job at Merill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was__34and ended up becoming a pretty good agent（代理商，代理人）. 35， I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest（利息 ）. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm（公司）.
