Three years ago, I had a job in a retail store (零售店). I 1 to talk to everybody and know what
was going on in their2 . I remember a girl who started3 there a few months after me. We seldom
talked but we always4 each other and smiled.
She always smiled in a really happy way5 one day when we got to work in the6department.
She smiled as if she was the7 girl in the world. I went up to her and asked, 'What's wrong with
you?' She answered, 'Why?' I said, 'I could feel you're very8 , but you're always trying to9it.'
Her mouth just dropped as if I had10 her deepest secret, so we started talking. She told me11 she was feeling unhappy and why she was trying to12 that nothing was wrong. Time went by and we
became good friends. She'd always tell me I had13 her life in so many ways.
Today that girl is one of my best14 . I really don't know what I would do15 her. She has been
there for me in every16 way a friend could be.
What I'm trying to say is that you never know17 you're helping yourself. I helped this girl never
knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a__18 _ friend.
