Hearing the front door open, I ran down to the kitchen and waited. I saw may dad come in, with the white envelope in his hand.

While I had been busy with my study, I had also built a   48   between me and my familly. I was only trying to become a person everyone could be   49   of.

I wanted to go downstairs, say sorry for my rude behavior and for every refused movie and tennis game, and be   50   of my family again. I knew I had to do something ----because without their support, my achievement meant nothing.

　　 When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a 　41 .

　　 It was the early autumn of my 　42 year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. 　43 , no one knew who I was. I was very 　44 , and afraid to make friends with anyone.

　　 Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart 　45 . I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problems. And I didn’t want my parents to 　 46 me.

　　 Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily 　47 . At that moment, a boy 　48 the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, 　49 a word, smiled.

Suddenly, I 　50 the touch of something bright and friendly. 　51 made me feel happy and warm.

That smile 　52 my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became 　53 to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t 　54 smiling at me!
