Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often     36     that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so     37     with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily     38     up their new home, the light suddenly     39    . Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along     40     and had to wait     41     in a low mood. Just then he heard light, hesitant     42     on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the     43     night.
“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a     44     to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be     45    , so he went to the door and opened it     46    . At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor. ”“No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door     47    .“What a nuisance!” He plained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to     48     things.”
After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside.     49     this time she was     50     two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She     51     me here to give you these.” Terry was very     52     by what he saw.
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his     53     in life. It was his     54     and harshness (刻薄) with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was     55     nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic mind.
