I took a cab and we went to Grand Central Station. while we d1.in the right lane (车道) a black car s2.jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver hit the brakes (猛踩刹车), skidded (打滑) and missed the other car by several inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost3.a big accident, started berating us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.

I asked him. "W4.did you just do that? This guy almost crashed your car and could have sent us to the hospital!" He said, "Many people are like garbage trucks (卡车). They run full of r5.. They need a place to dispose of it. If someone wants to attack you, just s6., wave, wish them well and move on. You will be happier if you do this.

I found your words very m7.. I couldn't help one8.myself. “How often do I allow people like that to throw garbage at me? And how often do I take their trash and scatter it among other people: at work, at home, on the street?” I realized that day. "I don't do that anymore."

S9.So I started seeing people as garbage trucks and10.And like my cab driver, I just smile, wave, wish you luck, and then move on.
