Not long ago I wasn't doing very well in exams and I was full of disappointment and __1__ thinking.While on the Internet，I met many new friends，but one in particular __2__.His nickname is Colorful Day and we __3__ on the Web.He told me he lost his __4__ at the age of 15，and felt the whole world had closed its door to him.

He was __5__ so fast that I couldn't believe he was blind！But he continued to __6__：Five years ago，I realized it was time to change my life.I had read about Helen Keller and understood her life and __7__.So I developed a website about her life __8__ mine called Three Days to See.

I visited his website which was well produced and vividly __9__.

I asked，“How did you __10__　 to build such a website？” He said，“Owing to the new technology，I can use software specially __11__　 for the blind.__12__　 I point the cursor(光标)，it will just read it out to me.We can do far more things and __13__ more information than we could before.”I then asked，“Didn't you have great difficulty with it？”

He hesitated and then began his __14__　 with a smiling face，“Yes，but I have faith in myself to __15__　 my colorful day，and modern technology gives me this medium and __16__ to do it.”

His __17__ attitude towards life made me believe that our destiny offers，not the cup of despair，__18__　 the chalice (酒杯) of opportunity.I returned to my lessons，and this time with a smile on my face and with __19__ of a colorful future.

The Internet，which is open to me to __20__ different lives and cultures，has charm you couldn't find in another wise non?virtual world.
