Later, I parked my bike and lay down on a wooden   24  . Just as I got   25  , a man appeared in my vision. “It looks like it's going to rain,” he said. “I was just like you once,” the man continued. “One day, I went for a bike ride and lay down on a bench,   26   it started to rain. People walking by me probably thought I was   27  .” I listened, with the rain falling down. “Rain is like therapy （治疗）,” he said, “  28   you just lie there and let it fall on your face.”   “I'm taking a tai chi class, and there's this word, Kua, that means ‘Everything in the   29   is connected.'” He began to sway （摇晃） a little. “When the shoulders move, the hips move. Everything is connected.” The rain fell   30  , and I told the man I'd better get home. “Nice to meet you,” he said, and we called each other's bikes beautiful before   31   forever.   I had never ridden in the rain before.

But then a（an）  33   thought came into my mind: Why not?  The wind and icy summer rain beat my face   34   my bent knees took turns being first and I   35   my arms in the air, my balance holding strong. I yelled to no one   36  . I'd never been more truly in the moment. Everything was connected.      For the first time, I saw the cruelty of umbrellas for   37   us from the soft, healing, tapping raindrops. Like an umbrella, the codes of urban society prevent us from having   38  with strangers. The danger is understandable, but the   39   of riding a bike with no handlebars and the refreshment of   40   words from a mysterious stranger is worth getting a little wet. 21.  A. withdrew B. dragged            C. guided        D. invited 22.
