都哦哦哦来了看看 I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise
of the 43 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the 44 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her. She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 45 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 46 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.
She might have felt my 47 for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded.
I walked 48 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her 49 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”
She explained to me that she sees so many 50 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 51 motivational(激励的)music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through
a 52 time lately, but you’ve made me 53 again.”
“I’m happy that I could be 54 to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
I told her my story and said, “I’m not so 55 about what to do….” “You see, here’s the 56 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because 57 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 58 more … lift your head up.”
I was really 59 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So 60 in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

In the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame(名声), just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.
Hung recently has made an agreement with US -based entertainment firms Koch Records and fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.
The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California
都哦哦哦来了看看at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3\t searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: The off-key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.
But, it was this very bad act that sold well.
Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Everyone of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”
Whatever it is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.
So, what does Hung think of this?
“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”
Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.
63. What is the main idea of this passage?
