It was a rainy day. I was riding on a bus downtown to go to 41 . I was sitting next to a man in a business suit and didn’t 42 much attention until we both got off at the same stop and walked to the same 43 to get a morning paper.
The man running the stand was 44 having a b ad day. He was 45 and unsmiling as we purchased our papers, which served to only 46 more gloom(抑郁) to my day. The businessman caught my eye and 47 . He then continued to smile 48 and thanked the newsstand owner for the 49 and for being open on such a morning to make sure we were able to get our papers. 50 , he expressed his appreciation for something most of us would take for granted.
The newsman 51 only with a cold expression. The businessman then pleasantly wished him a pleasant day. As we 52 , I asked this man why he had 53 to be pleasant to the newsman when he obviously didn’t care about and didn’t respond to his expression of 54 and friendliness. The businessman smiled at me and said, “Why would I let someone else 55 what I say and what I feel or what kind of day I’m going to have?”
We then 56 to go to our respective work places. To this day, I don’t know anything about that business man. But I’ve never 57 the words he said or the way his smile seemed like a ray of light on a gloomy day. That was a good 25 years ago, but the 58 this had on my life has lasted. I never had a 59 to thank him personally, but the way in which I choose to look at life as a result of those words is his legacy (遗赠) to me and my thanks to him.
