10 . I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us on those unpleasant days. I’m saying this because I think I have just found mine.
I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really _________ schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day. I was having one of those days, when the train was completely _________ and the conversation around me seemed to be particularly meaningless. Besides, I had a bit of headache. Walking quickly across the station hall, I fished some _________ from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit selling The Big Issue (a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).
As the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling The Big Issue. She really looked like she had been sleeping _________ . Her clothes were _________ and she obviously hadn’t had a scrub (擦洗) for quite a while.
As I _________ the exit, I saw that she was also _________ from side to side. At first I thought she was trying to keep _________ against the biting wind. But she wasn’t. She was moving in time to a _________. I couldn’t hear her, but I could see her lips moving.
When I got closer, I saw a white __________ hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was __________ , dirty and living on the streets. I came closer and through the noise of the traffic I could hear her __________ the immortal (不朽的) line, “... And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!”
I bought her last magazine for twice what I had originally __________. She thanked me and __________ her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement-still singing. So, I have my happy __________ for that day, and I think it will stay with me for a long, long time.
