Question

I can never forget her ― the little girl with a   41   so strong and powerful. We could hear her halfway down the block. She was a(n)   42   peasant who asked for money and   43   gave the only thing she had ― her voice. I paused outside a small shop and listened. She brought to my mind the   44   of Little Orphan Annie. I could not understand the words she   45  , but her voice begged for   46  . It stood out from the noises of Arbat Street, pure and impressive, like the chime of a bell. She   47   from under an old-style lamp post (柱子，桿) in the shadow of a building, her arms extended and   48   thrown back. She was small and of ordinary looks. Her brown   49    escaped the bun (發(fā)髻) it had been pulled into, and she occasionally removed it from her   50  . Her clothing I can’t recall. Her voice, on the other hand, is always   51   on my memory.

I asked one of the translators about the girl. Elaina told me that she and hundreds of others like her throughout the   52   Soviet Union add to their families’ income by working on the streets. The children are unable to   53   school, and their parents work fulltime. These children know that the result of an unsuccessful day is no   54   for the table. Similar situations   55   during the Depression (蕭條) in the United States, but those American children were faceless shoeshine boys of the twenties. This girl was real to me.

When we   56   past her I gave her money. It was not out of pity   57   rather admiration. Her smile of   58   did not interrupt her singing. The girl watched us as we walked down the street. I knew this because when I looked back she smiled again. We   59   that smile, and I knew I could never forget her courage and inner   60  .
