Have you ever considered what it would be like not to be able to smile? I　　 16　 , up until a few months ago, when I found that I　　 17　　 couldn’t. Well, I’m exaggerating (夸张) it a little bit - technically, I could　　 18　 , but only with one side of my face!

I went to the doctor, and was　　 19　　 with Bell’s Palsy - a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of the face. As you could　　 20　 , this was quite a shock to me, and made me very　　 21　 . Although this was a major bomb that was dropped on my life, this story is not about how　　 22　　 life is, but about how I face the sudden　　 23　　 falling on me.

Anyway, so smiling is a part of everyday life for　　 24　 . “Losing” half my face caused me to think　　 25　　 a smile is. According to the dictionary, a smile is a facial expression indicating　　 26　　 or amusement, characterized by the turning up of the corners of the　　 27　 . But what about the cause? What is behind the smile, which　　 28　　 us to show this expression of pleasure?　

After　　 29　　 this for a while, I came up with the　　 30　　 that a smile is not only characterized by the upturning of the corners of the mouth, but also by the actions, words, and thoughts of the “smiler”. This gave me hope, as I　　 31 　　that smiling is not just an outward　　 32　 , but an inward lifestyle.

With this in mind, I set about learning how to smile with my life through my　　 33　 , not just with my face.　　 34　 , sometimes I send my friends Smile Cards with a chocolate bar or a bookmark, letting them　　 35　　 the true smile.
