C(2026·宿迁期末)
When I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a 1 .
It was the early autumn of my 2 year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very 3 , and afraid to talk or make friends with anyone.
4 I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my 5 because I didn't trust them. And I did not want my parents to 6 me either.
One day, my classmates were talking with their friends, but I sat 7 . At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She 8 me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.
9 , I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden 10 and I still remember that smile today.
That smile 11 my life. I started to talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to open my heart and 12 other people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick(粘) together like 13 .
One day, I asked her 14 she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!
Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So always try to look at life with a(n) 15 heart. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.
