I close my eyes and can still hear
her-the little girl with a ___36_ so strong and powerful we could hear
her halfway down the block. .She was a(n) ___37___ peasant who asked for
money and ___38___ gave the only thing she had--her voice. I paused outside a
small shop and listened. She brought to my mind the ___39__ of Little Orphan
Annie. I could not understand the words she ___40__, but her voice begged
for _41__. It stood out from the noises of Arbat Street, pure and impressive,
like the chime of a bell. She sang __42__ an old-style lamp post in the shadow
of a building, her arms extended and ___43__ thrown back.. She was small and of
unremarkable looks. Her brown hair ___44__ the bun(发髻) it had been pulled into, and she occasionally reached up
to ___45___ a stray piece from her face. Her clothing I can’t recall. Her
voice, on the other hand, is __46___ imprinted in my mind. I asked one of the
translators about the girl. Elaina told me that she and hundreds of others like
her throughout the ___47___ Soviet Union(苏联) add to their families’ income by
working on the streets. The children are unable to __48___ school, and their
parents work fulltime. These children know that the consequence of an __49___
day is no food for the table. Similar situations occurred during the
Depression(萧条) in
the United States, but those American children were __50___ shoeshine boys of
the __51___. This girl was real to me. When we walked past her I gave her
money. It was not out of pity __52__ rather admiration. Her smile of ___53___
did not interrupt her singing. The girl watched us as we walked down the
street. I know this because when I looked back she smiled again. We __54___
that smile, and I knew I could never forget her courage and __55__ strength.
