　　But fate(命运)     6   him. He became blind again ten years later because he had used his eyes too much. It was a great blow. But Xiao is so     7    and optimistic(乐观) that he soon got out of his sadness. He began writing songs and found a colorful world within. He hears and feels the world and    8    his thoughts and feelings into music.
　　“When one door closes, another door opens.”    9  opened the door for Xiao and has      10   him into a wonderful and colorful world.
