初中英语阅读理解与完型填空［2014 辽宁大连·B篇］

Mr．Dawson was an old man with a bad temper．Kids were afraid to go into his yard to pick apples．One day，12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr．Dawson's house．When Janet saw him，she suggested crossing the street to the other side．But Amy said they needn't．

When Mr．Dawson saw Amy，he smiled and said，“Hello，Amy！I see you have a new friend with you today．”Amy smiled back．Mr．Dawson looked friendly and gave them each a fresh apple．

Later Janet asked Amy，“Everyone says he is the most unwelcome person in town．Why was he so kind to us？”Amy explained that when she first walked past his house，she was also afraid of him．But she imagined there was an invisible （看不见的）smile on his face and then started talking to him．Beginning with a“hello”at first，and then speaking more each time．

“An invisible smile？”Janet was puzzled （困惑的）．“Yes，”answered Amy．“My grandma told me to think so．She says smiles can spread．If we keep smiling at someone，sooner or later they will smile back．”

Remember what Amy's grandma said，and we will find that most people can't refuse our smile．
