题目内容：

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

One day, a 40thing happened. Along with Leela, she went to visit an orphanage. All the children there were tiny; each one fell 41between 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 43a little, and she was immediately 44towards that child.

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

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

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

51problems here. We speak; we communicate!”

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

That day, it was 53for 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 54with each other; it's 55, and comes from deep inside.
