单选题 .  I was sitting at the bar of a local restaurant having lunch and taking a break. A pretty girt who looked about 25 walked in and sat down in a booth (雅座) waiting     1    her friend. It didn't     2    long before I saw she was trying to stay     3    from other people's gazes and my heart sank. You could see her hair was     4    and, at such a young age, she was receiving chemo (化疗).
    I sat there     5    her trying to remain composed(镇静的) and she was having a(n)     6    time of it. I     7    for her, imagining what it must be like to go through this and yet I know some of her     8    . You see I left my wife, the love of my life just a few short years ago and watched her slowly fade away. I needed to give a message of     9    to this girl. But how? What could I do?
    Then it occurred     10    me! I called over her waitress and explained that I wanted to buy the girl and her friend's     11    but I also told her not to tell her it was me. I also     12    the waitress a note to give to the girl.
    The note     13    as follows:
    "Someone today thought you were beautiful; someone today thought your smile glowed with
        14    ; someone today thought your eyes     15    up the world; someone today eared and wanted you to know this. Enjoy the rest of your day, pretty young lady." About 15 minutes later, the young girl asked for her     16    and I watched as she was told it was paid for. She asked why? Who? What for? The waitress simply handed her the note and explained to her the gentleman     17    did it left.
    I watched as she slowly read the note. Her eyes tore up, for only a moment, and then came the smile! A huge, beautiful,     18    smile! She lit up the room and then sat up straight, not     19    who saw her. Her friend also beamed.
    It's not how we look or what we have; it's not our houses or how many ears we have; nor is it how much money we can earn. It's all about how much we care and what we do,     20    it's making someone feel pretty only for a moment.1.
