How often do you let other people’s rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how _____ you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this _____ at the back of a taxi in New York.

We were driving fast in the right lane (車(chē)道) when suddenly, a black car jumped _____ a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake (剎車(chē)) as hard as possible, and at the _____ moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the car turned his head around and started _____ bad words. But then here’s what really _____ me. My taxi driver just smiled and waved (揮手致意) at the guy. I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy nearly _____ us!” He told me what I now remember “The Law of the Garbage (垃圾)Truck.”

He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. _____ their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they’ll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don’t feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be _____.”

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? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。

A hobby is an activity we can do in our free time, so that we can keep ourselves busy with something that makes us happy. Different people have different kinds of hobbies, according to their personal likes and dislikes. Hobbies are activities we choose to do, but not activities we have to do. There is a lot of difference between wanting to do something and having to do it. We only want to do those things we like to do, and things that give us pleasure and peace of mind.

Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. For example, they are a way of connecting us with our inner self. The time devoted to taking up a hobby is our own time. This is the time when we can connect and communicate with ourselves. During this personal time, we can do whatever we like. Doing things according to our own wishes gives us a sense of inner satisfaction, and also helps develop self-confidence.

Hobbies also help discover talents. There is a possibility that we are interested in a certain activity, but have never had a chance to try it. If we develop our interest as our hobbies, it’s quite clear that we’ll do it with great interest. So, even if we have never tried a certain thing before, we can still learn to do it. The hobbyists’ hidden talents can be discovered, and this can make them feel more confident.

It’s human nature to try to know more about the things we like. The moment we pursue(追求) some activities as our favorite hobbies, we want to gain more knowledge about the same hobby. Whether it’s gardening, cooking, painting or collecting stamps, we always try to get a deeper understanding of what we’re doing, so that we can do it more correctly. What’s more, we also happen to meet people with similar tastes and sometimes, owning rich knowledge about their hobbies. Besides gaining knowledge, hobbies also provide us with a chance to meet people who share similar likes and dislikes with us.

Whatever our hobbies are, they can be developed at any age, as a child or as an adult. However, if we begin at a young age, we can get more time to experience the joys. The hobby may grow with us, and some day, may also take us to great heights.
