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.
