Mr. Dawson was an old bad-tempered man, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.

One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to  36  Daw-

son’s house, but as they got  37  , Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was  38  of the old man.

Amy said, “Don’t  39  .” When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his  40  

frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad  41  .

Amy smiled back and told him that they were going to listen to music. Dawson told them that sounded  42  , and gave them each a(an)  43  .

Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the  44  man in town.   45  he was so nice to us? ” she pretended he was wearing a(an)  48  smile, so she always smiled. It really took some time  49  he one day half-smiled back.

After a while, he started smiling a real smile and then  50  to her. She said he always  51 

Her an apple now, and was always very kind.
