Smiling is the most attractive human behavior. The power of smiling can work out many wonders. I love to take a walk around the small neighborhood where I live. Whoever I meet on the way, they always give me a friendly greeting with a nice smile as soon as our eyes contact  1 . I smile back. This kind of smiling exchange represents the most   2  part of my jogging experience in the States.
My daughter's smile is just like sunlight, which warms me inside the same way   3   the sun warms my body. It can clear away any clouds and unpleasant feelings. The smile of my wife, however, makes me enjoy the   4  of an elegant woman, it can sometimes relax me quite a lot.
Julia Robert's    5  is nothing but roaring like an earthquake. Americans may have   6   opinions in many things, but they all agree that Julia is America's sweetheart. Her laugh plays a very good part in her acting. Once I tried some candy in a store, the owner asked me how sweet the candy is, I said sweeter than Julia Robert.   7  both of us broke into a kind of Julia's laugh. Yes, laugh is something we can not do without. Otherwise, our life would be too   8  .
Smiling does not belong to human alone. Once I stayed at an American home and he had a little dog named Mini. When I held her gently and asked her to give me a little smile,   9   just opened her mouth wide and half closed her eyes, looking like smiling.
Los Angles is not only the place where it has the most sunshine in a year,   10   where most people smile! That’s why so many people love to travel there all year round.

Once there was an old farmer. He had a horse and the horse was almost as old as himself. One morning he set out with his young son to sell the horse before it died. The father and the son walked because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired.

They met two men on the road. They said, “Why are you walking, farmer? You have a horse. It’s a long way to get to the market. ” The farmer knew that this was true, so he rode on the horse while his son walked.

Then they met two old ladies. “What are you doing up there, farmer? Can’t you see how tired your son is? ”So the farmer got down, and let his son ride on it.

Twenty minutes later, three old men stopped them. One said, “Why are you walking, farmer? Get up. It’s too hot for an old man like you to walk today. ” So the farmer got up behind his son and they went on riding.
