　　“Imagine you are walking along the road．Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter．You feel very 　　1　　 and think the world is laughing at you．But in fact, five minutes later, they have 　　2　　 it ever happened．” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn't agree with the 　　3　　．

　　The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 　　4　　 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 　　5　　 trouble．

　　I admit that we should keep 　　6　　 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 　　7　　 can let them forget it．” But this is far from satisfactory．We should do 　　8　　 to make things better．

　　I used to be a(n) 　　9　　 girl and not very good at maths．Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 　　10　　 when I couldn't answer it．

　　“If you don't know the answer, just tell me．” the teacher said, “If you don't how can I know 　　11　　 you know the answer or not? ” All of my classmates burst into laughter．My face turned red but the teacher 　　12　　 me to go to the blackboard and 　　13　　 what I knew．If I had 　　14　　 the words in the article, I would have given up．But I tried my best．And to everyone's 　　15　　 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I 　　16　　 you could do it! ”

　　Since then, I have become active in maths as 　　17　　 as in other subjects．I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time．But now, I know 　　18　　 I do can make things better．Everyone is the 　　19　　 of his own fate．

　　If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 　　20　　．Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone．
