My mother lost her job, so I felt unhappy.
One day, while I was 1 on the street, I heard the piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to 2where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there 3, watching her playing. She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her music sounded. M Thank you. She said. "I have been going through a hard time recently (近来),4 you've made me hopeful again. " I said to her. "I'm glad that I could help," she answered, "Why are you so5?"
“Well, my mom has lost her job, and I'm not sure what to do…”
“Did you notice the 6you were walking? Your head was down.” she said. “Don't be upset, because chances come in different ways. You should smile more.”
“Why are you playing the piano here?” I asked her with a smile. She explained (解释) that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer them up by playing music.
