The story I'm going to tell truly happened in my life.
The other day, I met a man outside the gym who  21  a movie star. He was handsome and smiling. His upper body was muscular and he  22  to be on top of the world.
"How are you?" I  23  with a smile. "I'm doing really well," he replied in a cheerful voice. His enthusiasm and big smile  24  the parking garage.   25  as he walked up, I  26  his long legs were thin and I saw he had a silver cane (手杖). "Why do you need that cane?" I couldn't  27 
thinking he had a minor injury. "I have MS," he answered in a  28  voice too, as his broad smile  29  left his face. Multiple Sclerosis is a very serious disease and often painful. I looked at him from my little red sports car and said, "You  30  it very well. You seem like a happy man  31
the MS. " Without losing a bit of his smile he replied, "I am a happy man," and then added, "I'd be even happier if I had that sports  32  . "
It was ironic (讽刺的). Just  33  we spoke, I'd been sitting in that little sports car, feeling sad about my painful shoulder over the last 11 months although ! was  34  after an operation. Here's a man with a  35  far tougher than mine, but his positive attitude made him feel no  36 
happiness. He went on with his enjoyment of life as usual, which moved me deeply.
It was also a wonderful reminder of that old  37  , "t cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet. "   38  your problems, just keep in  39  that none of us goes through life  40  and like the man with MS, make the most of what you have. Count your blessings.
