Last week I talked with Mandy, a mother of a young teenager in my class. She was telling me how 21 it was for her son at school, because he is in a school uniform that doesn’t 22 him as he’s outgrown it. Since her husband and she both lost their 23 in the last couple of years, they have been searching and interviewing persistently (坚持不懈地). 24 , unfortunately they are still out of work. Now I know the fact that they just can’t 25 a new one. She wiped away 26 as she told me sadly that she is 27 trying to buy a new shirt, then trousers, then… then shoes. I know her well enough to know that she doesn’t 28 want to get my sympathy or help. She’s 29 asked for anything from me, either. She was just telling me the honest 30 . I felt moved to go to the 31 to draw money out from my own account through ATM and come back with a bit of savings of my own 32 I believe I can spare. I told her to just go and buy the 33 , and not to tell anyone that I did this but her husband. I also made it clear to her that nothing is 34 —no payback, nothing. It’s a gift done, so I can enjoy 35 , and that is all I need right now. I told her that she was also doing me a favor, 36 she let me know everything. She was so 37 for what I had done for her that she was moved to tears, but I really just feel happy that her boy won’t continue to be 38 for his ugly uniform. I know what that is like, and as a victim of school bullying (恃强欺弱) when young, I can say 39 it hurts for a long time. I felt so 40 to be able to do this! 21. A. sick B. hungry C. cold D. bad 22.
