Larry seemed always silent and didn't have any friend.His teacher Mr.Brown

（1） 　 　this.One day,he asked Larry to meet him after class.Mr.Brown said， "I see that you don't talk to anyone or show any（2） 　 　in anything.What's wrong？" Larry replied， "Sir，I have a very（3） 　 　life.I have to face some very sad incidents and I keep

（4） 　 　them.Because of this，I can't focus my attention on anything and don't even feel like talking to（5） 　 　. "

Mr.Brown listened carefully，thought for a while and said,"Would you like some lemonade(柠檬汽水）？"Larry felt a little（6） 　 　and nervously replied,"Yes，thank you!"

While（7） 　 　lemonade，Mr.Brown added more salt on purpose and kept the quantity of sugar low.Larry made a（8） 　 　face as soon as he drank a sip of that lemonade.Seeing this，Mr.Brown asked "You don't like it？""

"Um…. .it's just there is a bit too much（9） 　 　in it， "Larry answered.

Mr.Brown stopped him， "Oh，it doesn't matter.I will throw it away. "As the teacher was lifting the glass to（10） 　 　,Larry stopped him and said， "Sir，please don't throw it away.（11） 　 　we put a little more sugar in the lemonade，it will be fine to drink. "

Hearing this，Mr.Brown said（12） 　 　,"This is what I want to hear from you.To improve the（13） 　 　of lemonade，we don't need to remove the salt from it，we can just add some sugar to it.Similarly，we cannot remove sad things that have（14） 　 　happened to us，but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life.If you keep on crying about your

（15) 　 　neither your present will be right nor the future will be bright. "
