    I was at a coffee shop last night taking in a wonderful folk music performance, and was busy tapping my feet，and  32  along to the relaxing tunes!

    WhenI got up to get a cup of coffee and a  33  ，I noticed a middle-aged woman nearby．She had  34  been caught in a fire of some sort． Her face had been seriously  35  ，so that the skin looked very tight．She almost had no nose．and her eyes were tiny．I took a deep

breath，and went back to my  36  ，thinking how brave she was to come out and  37  in public．I also felt  38  of myself for shuddering（战栗）and looking down while I   39  back to my seat，unable to send even a weak  40  her way

    As I was sipping（啜饮）my coffee and eating my cookie，I kept thinking about  41  I should ignore this moment and just  42  my own business，or do something about my feelings．I couldn’t let it go．I went for a refill of coffee and to get another cookie，  43  this time I made my way slowly  44  the wonan，said，“Isn’t he a wonderful performer?”and gave her a largest smile I was able to give．To my  45  ，she looked right at me and gave me a huge SMILE in return!

I’m sure it took this woman a   46  time to find her smile after her terrible  47  ．I believe that my smile  48  her day，and hers also made me very happy．She seemed to have

  49  to find peace with herself，and I was  50  ，because her smile had made her beautiful
