Smiling is the most attractive human behavior. The power of smiling can work out many wonders. I love to take a walk around the small neighborhood where I live. Whoever I meet on the way, they always give me a friendly greeting with a nice smile as soon as our eyes contact  1 . I smile back. This kind of smiling exchange represents the most   2  part of my jogging experience in the States.

My daughter's smile is just like sunlight, which warms me inside the same way   3   the sun warms my body. It can clear away any clouds and unpleasant feelings. The smile of my wife, however, makes me enjoy the   4  of an elegant woman, it can sometimes relax me quite a lot.

Julia Robert's    5  is nothing but roaring like an earthquake. Americans may have   6   opinions in many things, but they all agree that Julia is America's sweetheart. Her laugh plays a very good part in her acting. Once I tried some candy in a store, the owner asked me how sweet the candy is, I said sweeter than Julia Robert.   7  both of us broke into a kind of Julia's laugh. Yes, laugh is something we can not do without. Otherwise, our life would be too   8  .

Smiling does not belong to human alone. Once I stayed at an American home and he had a little dog named Mini. When I held her gently and asked her to give me a little smile,   9   just opened her mouth wide and half closed her eyes, looking like smiling.

Have you ever wanted something so ①badly that you wanted to do anything to get it? Well, that used to be me. Three years was quite a long time and hard time, but I got what I wanted: a lovely dog named Dion.

My family and I met it at a dog show. We drove for four hours to its owner’s house where she showed us three little dogs. They were all so lovely with their little legs, long bodies and heads that looked too big for their bodies, I couldn’t decide which to choose until ②the smallest dog came up to me and licked my face.

Dion felt quite strange to our home at first. Every night, she cried in a way that sometimes made me cry. She cried almost every second of the day. But after a few weeks, she got used to us.
