About ten years ago, both of my parents lost their jobs. Life was1 for me then. I 2at the gift shop in my university's museum in my spare time. One day 3 working in the shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.

    As I looked closer at this girl, I found that she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was wearing a pretty white dress and a little red4. When they came closer to me, I 5 her a wink(眨眼). And the girl gave me the most beautiful 6that I had ever seen.

    All of a sudden, her handicap(残疾) was gone and all that I saw was a 7girl. I was deeply moved by her smile, and I8what life was all about. She brought me, a poor and unhappy college student, into her world full of smiles, 9and warmth.

    I'm a successful business person now. Whenever I am in low spirits and in10I always think of that little girl and the lesson about life that she taught me.

    They went down a hallway with lots of cool posters and big cardboard advertisements for the newest 6. They found their theater and entered the dark room, going down another short walkway until they saw all of the seats. It was so big inside! "There must be hundreds of chairs," she thought.

Dad was right, too! Becky could feel the seats vibrate (振动) with the loud sound. It was an amazing experience.

    Over an hour later with popcorn gone, soda 9, and the movie over, Becky and her parents left the dark room. It was so bright outside. "Well? Did you like it?" Her parents asked as they got back in the car. "That was interesting. Let's come here 10 sometime!" Becky said happily.
