Question

My friend Jenny from Germany spent some time traveling in India. She   36   the country so much that she always got attracted to it. While there, she stayed with Leela, her friend who was Indian.   37   the gazes that she got as a foreigner, Jenny always had language problems. It was very difficult for her to   38   in this new environment and culture that had so many subtle (細(xì)微的)  39   from her own country.

    One day, a   40   thing happened. Along with Leela, she went to visit an orphanage. All the children there were tiny; each one fell   41   between the ages of fifteen days to one-and-a-half years old.

    After some initial(最初的)   42  , Jenny slowly went to the kids and sat beside them. After some time, one of the kids smiled at her. She felt   43   a little, and she was immediately   44   towards that child.

    She slowly held the child and started singing a rhyme in   45  . The small child continued to smile and started   46   after her. The words that escaped the little mouth were much different from those that Jenny hummed, but the   47   was the same.      

Wanting to join in the   48  , another kid went up to Jenny and started humming the rhyme. They shared a million   49   together.

      50   Leela's eyes on her, she blurted( 脫口而出) an explanation straight from her heart: “See, I don't have                  

  51   problems here. We speak; we communicate!”

And she continued with her rhyme   52   she didn’t want to disturb the child’s smile.

That day, it was   53   for Leela and the others in the orphanage to see such a heartwarming scene. In that moment, she understood: we're all simply human, and we have the ability to   54  with each other; it's   55  , and comes from deep inside.
