I still remember my kindergarten(幼儿园)teacher, Mrs, White. She looked just like Snow White, she had the same bright eyes and short dark hair.
We used to a lot . And I would show what I wrote to Mrs. White for correction(批改). She would look at my writing and see many mistakes in it. But she made any red correction and she always gave a star. I was feeling of my writing each time I got a star. But it my mother. So one day, when she met Mrs. White at a parent-teacher meeting. Mum asked her why she never corrected my and why she never said no to her child.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get about using words. Spelling and grammar can wait. We can’tthat interest with a red pen.”As it was a long time ago, my mother could only remember the main idea of Mrs. White said about my writing. However, I grew up learning to use words with loving care and like that.
If Mrs. White had used her red pen more often, I wouldn’t be telling you about this now, Whenever I look back on those encouraging from Mrs.White, I feel they just look real ones in the night sky-bright, shiny, and guiding me on my way somewhere. I do believe she was such a teacher, who tried to use a red pen less to keep the joy, wonder and excitement in a child’s .
Thanks to Mrs. White, I have no fear about writing. Also, I’m not afraid of any mistake in my life!

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 (车道)when suddenly, a black car jumped____a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake(刹车)as hard as possible, and at the________moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.
I couldn't _____ 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(挥手致意) 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_____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。
