The lady with the white fence（籬笆）taught me to leave the gale to life open.. .

My husband died in an accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was　 43　 down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good 　44　 that I was deeply touched. I could not send 　45 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.

“Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden, “I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!"

“Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice, “I live alone. _ 46_ so many people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive. 　　47　 stop like you and come up to have a chat. "

"But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓寬) the road and everything changed so much?"

"Change is part of life and takes part in 　 48　 us who we are. When something we do not

like happens to us, we have two choices—to become a 　 49　 person or to become a better person."

Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on 　50 a new feeling inside me. I could not tell 　51 it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And 　52 a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my way.

During my second year of middle school, our teacher gave us a test. I studied hard and   36   well in all the subjects, so the questions were not difficult for me.  37   I stopped when I read the last one：“What is the   38   of the woman that cleans the school?”

Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 60 years old. She had dark hair. But   39   would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I had never even thought   40   talking to her. I started to feel rather guilty(慚愧的).Finally, I   41   my paper, without finishing the last question.

Before the class ended, one student asked,“Will be last question count(計入) toward   42   grade?”“Of course,”the teacher said,“In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if you just   43   and say hello to them.”

I’ve   44   forgotten that lesson. I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most   45   lesson of my life. Later, I learned that the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.
