might try a bit longer before 40 . smith drove his pickup （小货车）a couple of miles along the winding road to get to 41 side of the lake. this road, in the truest sense, was a path wagging in the heavy 42 area. even with the sun still high in the cloudless sky, the 43 of trees formed a leafy 44 over the road and it suddenly seemed 45 in the evening. “a guy could get lost and nobody would ever find him,” said chambers. smith smiled, “were 46 there,” he said. a few seconds later, the smile was 47 from his face. “what the hell is that?” he braked to a stop. less than twenty feet away was what

interested, without _36_, in the way other people choose to live and _37_.”when you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way_38_feel about something, its_39_that you will he annoyed.when someone acts in a way that seems _40_ to you, rather than react in your usual way, such as “i cant believe they would do that,” _41_ say something to yourself like “i see, that must be the way they _42_ things in their world. very interesting.” in order for this _43_ to help you, you have to be genuine (真诚的).recently i was at a shopping mall with my six-year old daughter _44_ a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos (纹身) covering much of their bodies. at the sight of them, my daughter immediately asked me, “daddy, why are they _45_ like that?” years ago i would have felt very _46_ with such young people. i would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my _47_. pretending to be an anthropolgist, however, has _48_ my perspective (看法) a great deal, so its made me _49_ .i said to my daughter, “im not really sure, but its interesting how _50_ we all are, isnt it?” she said, “yeah, _51_ i like my own hair.”when you are interested in other perspectives, it doesnt mean youre _52_them. i certainly wouldnt choose a punk rock lifestyle or _53_ it to anyone else. at the same time, however, its really not my _54 to judge it either. one of the most important rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and _55_ you away from where you want to be36. a. agreementb. judgementc. improvementd.
