Question

完形填空。（10分）

I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.

One day, while I was     on the street, I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to      where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at piano.

She was singing songs about love, losing herself and keeping on trying. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there     , watching her playing on such a crowded New York square . I thought that she must be    enough to perform in front of so many people.

She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her music sounded. “Thank you.” She said.

“ I have been going through a hard time recently,     you’ve made me hopeful again.” I said to her.

“ I’m glad that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so     ?”

“ Well, my mum has lost her job, and I’m not so sure what to do…”

“ Did you notice the     you were walking ? Your head was down.” She said. “ Don’t be upset, because opportunity（机遇）comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should smile more… lift your head up.”

I looked    her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. “    are you playing the piano here ?” I asked her with a smile.

She explained that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer    up by playing music.

I smiled a little wider, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.
