The story I’m going to tell truly happened in my life.

The other day, I met a man outside the gym who     a movie star. He was handsome and smiling. His upper body was muscular（肌肉发达的）and he     to be on top of the world.

“How are you?” I     with a smile. “I’m doing really well,” he replied in a cheerful voice. His enthusiasm and big smile      the parking garage.      as he walked up, I     his long legs were thin and I saw he had a silver cane (手杖). “Why do you need that cane?” I couldn’t       thinking he had a minor injury. “I have MS,” he answered in a        voice too, as if his broad smile     left his face. Multiple Sclerosis（多发性硬化症）is a very serious disease and often painful. I looked at him from my little red sports car and said, “You      it very well. You seem like a happy man     the MS.” Without losing a bit of his smile he replied, “I am a happy man,” and then added, “I’d be even happier if I had that sports     .”

    It was ironic (讽刺的). Just     we spoke, I’d been sitting in that little sports car, feeling sad about my painful shoulder over the last 11 months as I was     after an operation. Here’s a man with a     far tougher than mine, but his positive attitude made him feel no less happiness. He went on with his     of life as usual, which moved me deeply.

     It was also a wonderful reminder of that old     , “I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet.”     your problems, just keep in     that none of us goes through life     and you should make the most of what you have, like the man with MS. Count your blessings.
