The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He __ me with a puzzle —all because he waved to me like someone does __ seeing a close friend. A big, ___smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to __ his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had ___me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the __ that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.

Then one day the __ was solved. As I __ the school he was standing in the middle of the road __ his stop sign. I was in live behind four cars. __ the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars __. To the first he waved and __ in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same __ from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking(表情刻板的)businessman, gave a brief,almost ___wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school __ more heartily.

Every morning I continued to watch the man with __. So far I haven’t seen anyone __ to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a(n) __ to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His __ armed the start of my day.
