The day that I met my best friend for the first time, I was full of 　　36　 . I was trying to do some 　　37　 　for an important oral exam in the local library and people kept 　　38　 　me. I was getting more and more 　　39　　 　and of course, the more upset I got, the less I was able to 　　40　 . The last straw was when I heard someone singing behind me. The singing was so loud that I could even 　　41　 　the song! I turned around and 　　42　 　the person who was singing. It was a tall girl with a big smile on her face. She was standing with a book in her hands near the “English Literature” ___43　 , and seemed very interested in what she was reading. “How could she be so 　　44　 ?” I thought angrily. In fact, I’m surprised there wasn’t 　　45　 　coming out of my ears!

I picked up my books, glared at her and 　　46　 　angrily, “Thanks to your noise, I’ve been unable to study. You’re so selfish!”

I still hate thinking of that moment. Let me tell you the rest of the story

　 47　 .

Because I left the library in such a hurry, I didn’t realize I’d left my most important textbook behind until I was home. By then the library was already closed. I was so upset that I almost cried. Just then, the phone rang. I answered it and a gentle voice introduced the speaker as Jenny. After 　　48　 　who I was, Jenny said that she had noticed I’d left my book in the library and as my name was in it, she’d asked a 　　49　 　to get my phone number from their files. She said she could 　　50　 　it around for me if I needed it.

I sighed with 　　51　 　and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road. Of course you’ve guessed who Jenny was. She was the girl I had shouted

　 52　 　singing. When I met her in the store, I felt so 　　53　 　and apologized several times for my rude behavior. But Jenny just laughed and told me she was glad to see that I’d also left my glare in the library! I couldn’t help 　　54　 　this and I invited her back to my apartment for a quick cup of tea.

We got along really well and ever since then we’ve been best friends. I often think how lucky I am. If Jenny hadn’t been so kind to be willing to 　　55　 　my shortcomings, I would never have experienced such true friendship.
