For years I went to school by bus, so I met many "familiar（熟悉的)"strangers (陌生人). We took the same bus but didn't know each other's names. How wrong I was !Smiles from the "nameless", people have changed my thoughts.
The first time I got on the bus, I saw different faces. We met, greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces. As days went on, we chatted like old friends.
Her old clothing suggested (暗示) that she didn't have much money, but she always took a cup of water for the driver. I guessed she was a kind girl. But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us? Couldn't she smile?
Then, one evening, I got the answer. I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree, lonely and sad. I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months, but this time her face turned red, then a shy smile appeared. As soon as she began her first words, I understood why she hadn't spoken to us before.
I learnt her story: Her parents worked hard somewhere. She lived with her disabled(残疾的)grandparents. She said, "I can't express(表达)myself very well. I have no friends but…you always smile to me like an angel…so I also want to smile." That evening, we exchanged (交换) our names and we said goodbye like old friends.
Smile is the key to opening the door of the heart, it can break the cold walls in front of us.
