Recently I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. I live on the Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I 36 my car and was about to drive off, I glanced down at the roadside. A piece of paper 37 my eye. I picked it up and read it 38 . Instantly I was grateful that I had done that. The form 39 to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ 40 of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly I put myself in their 41 and figured: no one would throw this away, especially if it was current. I also 42 the form for contact or any 43 data, perhaps a license tag(牌照) or telephone number. But that seemed 44 . Although the form had been 45 on the wind, where in the busy, crowded parking lot would I find the 46 ? So I checked the date and 47 the names of the owners, who must be in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to 48 was to put the form in a(n) 49 addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined how frantic (狂乱的) I’d be 50 I had misplaced the receipt. It is much easier to make a(n) 51 to return it than to leave them angry, upset etc. over the 52 , so I did as I thought. My hunch(预感) was right. On the weekend a happy couple called 53 my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt 54 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would lose $8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing 55 that at first glance seemed minor. 36. A. parked B. bought C. started D. found 37.
