Smiling is the best way of making friends.

When I was thirteen   46   old, my father found a job in the city. So my family moved there. I also came to a   47   school near where we live. My old school was far away. At first, I did not know anyone in my class. I was very lonely  48   I was afraid to make friends with my classmates. I   49   talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn’t want my parents to   50   me.

Then one day, something good happened. I was sitting at my desk  51   as usual while my classmates were talking happily with each other. At that moment,   52   came into the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked   53   me and, without a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt happy, lively and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other classmates and made friends. Day by day, I became   54   to everyone in my class.

  55   the smile, I have moved on to a new life. Now, I believe that the world is what you think it is. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

Daniel was always making excuses for forgetting to do things. His usual excuse was: “ I was too busy.” or “I didn’t have time.”

Daniel’s parents were worried about him. “ He shouldn’t go through life making excuses all the time.” his father said. “ No one will trust him to do anything. He won’t be able to keep a job. No sensible(明智的)girl will marry him.”

“I don’t know what we can do.” his mother said.

“I have an idea.” his father said. “If this doesn’t work, nothing will.”

The next day was Daniel’s birthday. He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents. He woke up, expecting his parents to wish him a happy birthday. But all day what they said was “Good morning, Daniel. Hurry, or you will be late for school.” There were no presents, not even a card. He was really disappointed.

“Never mind.” he thought. (3) “There’ll be a surprise for me after school.” But there wasn’t. Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, “Today’s my birthday.”

“Oh,” his father said. “So it is. I forgot.”

“So did I.” his mother said.

“How could you forget?” Daniel asked. “There must be a reason.”

“Well, yes.” his father said. “We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Daniel. We didn’t remember your birthday because we were too busy.”

Poor Daniel! He never had a silly excuse for not doing something again.
