It’s been said that a smile is the lighting system of the face, the cooling system of the head and the heating system of the heart. But a smile is also a powerful  36  against toxic (有害的) attitudes of all kinds.

I stopped at the   40   in the morning and, as I was   41  , an older businessman said to me that it was going to be a   42   day and life shouldn’t be as  43   as I make it look. I glared at him and   44   said, ‘I wish it was Friday.’

      “I felt   45   about my day when I left the post office ... that man’s smile and comment, although irritating (使人心烦的)  46  , made me think.

       “The second time I  47  the man, I went out of my way to say ‘Happy Friday’ to him and to   48  . I saw him a few more times and always he was happy and made my   49  .

I look every morning ... I go at different times to see if I can catch him. Maybe he is  53  , or maybe he is ill. I think to myself, ‘I wish I had thanked him for being a kind person.’ I can honestly say this man changed my life. I will work to   54   that same feeling to those I see in   55   of a smile.”  ( 323  words )
