I was in the ninth year when I began to suffer depression. My parents noticed but felt that since I’d always been    61   good child, this was temporary.
   62    (fortunate), it was not to be so. I didn’t have friends. Hardly could I share my problems. Deep worry began to destroy my   63    (confident). Finally I refused to attend classes,    64    (shut) myself in my room for hours.
The examination was approaching, but I simply didn’t care. My parents and teachers were surprised    65    my bad performance. One morning, after a particularly severe lecture from my father, I stood at the school gate,   66    (depress). Then as the other students marched to their classrooms, our headmaster called me. The next forty-five minutes was one of    67    (precious) moments in my life. She said she    68    ( notice) a big change in me and wondered why. At first she took my hands in    69    (she) and listened patiently as I mentioned my worries. Then she hugged me as I wept. Months of frustration and loneliness disappeared in her motherly hug.
No one had tried to understand what the real problem was except the headmaster,   70    helped me out simply by listening and hugging.
