Then I found that one bedroom window was  30  . I put a big stone (石頭)   31 the window, though it was very heavy. I made lots of noise, but in the end, I climbed up.
I had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly found that   32 was shining  a flashlight (手電筒) up at  33 . I looked down and  34 a policeman and an old lady, one of David's neighbors. "What are you doing up there?" asked the policeman.

When I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a  26   .

It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away.   2 7  a result, no one knew I was. I was very  28  , and afraid to make friends with anyone.

Every time I   29  the other students talking and laughing. I felt my heart 30  . I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problems. An who d I didn’t want my parents to 31  me.

Then one day, my classmates talked  32 with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.   33   , a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know  34 he was. He passed me and then   35  . He looked at me, without a word, but a smile.

  36 , I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and  37  .

That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became   38   to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.

One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember  39  at me!

It doesn’t matter   40   all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.
