51.This is my ____________( 八 ) birthday.

About ten years ago when I was a student at college, I spent my summer holidays 　21　 at a museum. 　22　 　was hard for me then. Dad had lost his job and Mum was sick 　23　 . I was　 24　 if I would be able to go on with my study the next term.

One day while I was working, I saw an old man come in with a little girl 　25　 　a wheelchair(轮椅). As I looked 　26　 at this girl, I found that she had no arms 　27　 legs. She was wearing a little white dress and she 　28　 had a hat on.

As the old man pushed the wheelchair up to me, I was busy with my work. I 　29　 my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼). When I took the money from her grandfather, I looked back at the girl, 　30　 was giving me the prettiest, largest smile I have 　31　 seen. Suddenly her handicap(生理缺陷)　 32　 and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile almost gave me a better understanding of what life is all about. She 　33　 me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her 　34　 of smiles, love and warmth.

I’m now a successful business and 　35　 I get down and think about the trouble of the world, I think about that little girl and the unforgettable lesson about life that she taught me.
