    It was a rainy day and I was riding on a bus downtown to go to work. I was   36   next to a man in a business suit and I paid little attention  37   we both got off at the same stop and walked to the same newsstand to get a morning   38  .  

The man running the stand was obviously having a  39   day. He was rude and unsmiling as we bought our papers, which only  40   more gloom （郁闷）to my day. The businessman   41 my gloomy feeling and smiled brightly,   42   the news stand owner for the paper and for being open on such a（n）   43   to make sure we were able to get our papers.  

As we  44 away, I asked this man why he was so   45   to the newsman when he didn't 46   his expression of thanks and friendliness. The businessman smiled at me and said, " Why would I let someone else  47   what I say and what I feel?"  

We then   48   to go to our own work places. To this day, I still don't know who that businessman was, or   49  he worked. He appeared briefly in my life and disappeared just as 50 . But I've never forgotten the words he said and his   51   which seemed like a ray of light on a gloomy day.  

That was a good 25 years   52  , but the effect this had on my life has lasted. I  53   had a chance to thank him personally, but the way I look at life has changed  54   those words. I have learnt that we cannot control people and   55   that come to us, but we can always control our response to them.
