After years of searching, a truth seeker was told to go to a cave, in which he would find a well. “Ask the well what is   36  , ” he was advised, “and the well reveal (告诉，揭露) it to you.” Having found the well, the seeker asked that most basic and important   37  . And from the depths came the answer: “Go to the village crossroad, and there you shall find what you are seeking.”
Full of   38   the man ran to the crossroad to   39   only three rather uninteresting shops. One shop was selling pieces of metal, another sold   40  , and thin wires were for sale in the third. Nothing and no one there seemed to   41   much to do with the revelation of truth.
Disappointed, the seeker returned to the well to demand an   42  , but he was told only: “You will   43   in the future.”
As years went by, the   44   of his experience at the well gradually   45   until one night, while he was walking, the sound of sitar (西塔琴) music   46   his attention. It was wonderful and it was   47   with great skill and inspiration.
Deeply  48  , the truth seeker felt drawn towards the   49  . He looked at the fingers dancing over the strings. And then suddenly he let out a cry of joyful   50  : the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like   51   he had once seen in the three stores.
At last he understood the   52   of the well: we have already been given everything we need; our   53   is to assemble (聚集) and use them in the proper way. Nothing is   54   so long as we recognize only fragments (碎片). But as soon as the pieces are put together, something new appears, whose nature we could not have   55   by considering the fragments alone.

It is love that makes the world go round. And it is also love that has such power to overcome all difficulties. So we say: “Love will find a way.” As smile is a facial expression showing pleasure, affection, and friendliness, it is the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: “never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that the smile is a language all its own— a universal language—understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality contradicted mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing. The, suddenly something inside me sent me turning back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos’ smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will to ward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you!’” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand. I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.
From that day on, I became smile – conscious, and I practice the diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I got excited in traffic, taking the right – of – way (公路用地) from the other car with my stupid mistake, I’d smile and shrug my shoulders apologetically. This action on my part would always draw a good – natured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault – and if I could remember my resolution in time! – he’d get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. I’ll admit it wasn’t always easy, but it was fun. The results were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely turn aside ill – feeling and tension. I’m wondering now how many tragic add dents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, if every driver remembered to smile!
59．The author got angry while shopping one day because         .

A．many traffic accidents could be avoided
B．they would receive a good natural smile in return
C．they could get a broad smile of understanding
