完形填空。
Mr. Dawson was an old bad-tempered man, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his
yard to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to  1  Dawson's house,
but as they got  2 , Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like
most, she was  3  of the old man.
Amy said, "Don't  4  ." When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his  5  frown (皱眉), but
when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad  6  .

Later, Janet asked Amy, "Everyone says he's the  9  man in town 10 he was so nice to us?"

pretended he was wearing a(n) 13 smile, so she always smiled. It really took some time 14 he one day half-
smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling a real smile and then 15 to her. She said he always 16 her an apple now,
and was always very kind.
In our everyday life we are always very busy doing a lot of things and trying to accomplish so much. It's
30 17 to forget that we can bring 18 to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little 19 , but few
people are aware of that. Please do remember after a while most people can't 20 our sunniness at all.
