One day I was shopping in a small town in southern California. It was my 　 21　 to be approached by a clerk whose personality clashed(冲突) with mine. He seemed most 　 22　 and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought　 23　 , and marched angrily out of the store. My 　 24　 toward that clerk and the entire establishment increased with each step.

On the outside, standing by the parking lot, was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties. His 　 25　 brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, broad smile 　 26　 his face. My attention was immediately arrested. The 　 27　 power of that smile removed all 　 28　 within me, and I found the muscles in my own face 　 29 responding. "Beautiful day, isn't it?" I remarked, in passing. Then, obeying an impulse(冲动), I 　 30　 . "I really owe you a debt of gratitude," I said softly.

His smile deepened, 　 31　 he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman 　 32　 and eyed me inquiringly. "Carlos, he does no speak English," she 　 33　 . "You want I should tell him something?"

In that moment I felt 　 34　 . Carlo’s smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good 　 35　 toward all mankind stood ten feet tall.

"Yes," my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, "Tell him what I said, 'Thank you!'"

　　　 "Thank you?" The woman seemed slightly 　 36　 .

I gave her arm a friendly pat 　 37　 I turned to leave. "Just tell him that," I insisted. "He'll understand. I am sure!"

Oh, what a smile can 　 38　 ! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. 　 39　 , I became smile-conscious, and I practice the 　 40　 diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.
