Question

The lady with the white fence（篱笆）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 (拓宽) 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.
