The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He _16_ me with a puzzle ---- all because he waved to me like someone does _17_ seeing a close friend. A big, _18_ smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to _19_ his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had _20_ me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the _21_ that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.

Then one day the _22_ was solved. As I _23_ the school he was standing in the middle of the road _24_ his stop sign. I was in line behind four cars. _25_ the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars _26_. To the first he waved and _27_ in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same _28_ from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking（表情刻板的） businessman, gave a brief, almost _29_ wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school _30_ more heartily.

Every morning I continued to watch the man with _31_. So far I haven’t seen anyone _32_ to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a（n） _33_ to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His _34_ armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the _35_ of the whole neighbourhood.
