I was working in a store three years ago. I remember one girl who started 37  there a few months after me. I remember always meeting her. I don’t know 38 but for a strange reason we would never talk. We would just see each other and smile.

She would 39 smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the 40 department again. She 41 as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But I had a strange feeling. So I went up to her and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” She answered, “Why?” I said, “I could feel you’re very 42 today and you’re trying to hide it.”

She was shocked as if I had 43 her deepest secret, so we started 44. She told me why she was feeling like that and why she was 45 to hide it and we had a good time together. Time 46 and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had changed her 47 in so many ways, but I could not 48 how it had happened. I would just smile, not understanding what she 49 by that.

Today this girl is one of my best 50. I really don’t know what I would do 51 her. She has been there for me in every possible way a friend could be.

I guess what I’m trying to say is you 52 know when you’re helping yourself. I 53 this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a(n) 54 friend.

So the next time you see a 55and he looks as if he needs 56 who will listen to him, listen to what he has to say. You never know, you might just end up helping yourself.

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away．That's the finding of a scientific study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce（盎司）of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.

The Dutch research is one of three human studies that hold the belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year．But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence （发生率） of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do．There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
