I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet wit h heavy snow.“e in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my worn--out slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room.  The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor.

It's not so serious.”I smiled a big smile and _34__worked a little, really.Everyone gets __35__(depress) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits.

Why not just give a big smile and face up   38   the trouble？”Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that__39__  (laugh) is better than tears and anger. I __40__(convince) that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me    41   courage to move on.Remember, whenever you're faced with a setback, whenever you've been treated unfairly, all it takes is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life, __42__ it will shine on you. 第四部分  短文改错（满分10分）Li Ming and Wang Ying are two students of Senior Three. They all work hard but they have different learning method.
