inspiring_18_of mine often set my mind working.I gradually regarded it as my best friend._19_,when I opened the window one morning,to my amazement, the tree was almost_20_recognition as a result of the storm the night before.Struck by the sight,I was_21_with a sadness at the thought "all the blossom is condemned to fall".I could not help_22_with emotion: the course of life never runs smooth,for there are so many ups and downs,_23_and tums.My life saw my beloved friends_24_one after another.Isn't it_25_to the tree shedding its flowers in the wind?

　　This event_26_as time went by.One day after I came home from the countryside,I found the room stuff（窒闷的）and_27_opened the window.Something outside caught my eye and_28_me.It was a plum tree all red with blossom set off_29_by the sunset.The surprise discovery overwhelmed me with pleasure. I wondered_30_I had no idea of some unbending life growing over the fallen petals（花瓣）when I was grieving for the hibiscus.

　　When the last withered（枯萎的）petal _31_,all the joyful admiration for the hibiscus was_32_as if nothing was left, until the landscape was again filled with the red plum blossom to remind people of life's alternation and continuance. Can't it be said that life is actually a symphony,a_33_composition of loss and gain.

　　Standing by the window lost in thought for a long time, I realized that no_34_in the world remains unchanged. As long as you keep your heart bathed in the sun, every dawn will present a fine prospect for you to unfold and the world will always be about new_35_.
