完形填空
I work as a waiter at a hotel.
Last night, an elderly white, seemingly 1 couple entered the restaurant. My co-worker greeted
and seated them in a friendly way. We usually take charge of our own 2, but when we are busy, we help each other
out.
I was3 the
customers at another table when the elderly husband 4 to
me that they were ready to order. I usually find it 5 when
people go out of their way to make their order, especially when we are super busy.
But once I took the couple's 6 I understood why.
The husband began ordering, stuttering
(结巴) to a degree I'd never heard before. It
was very clear that he had a 7 disorder. I could tell the wife had told her husband
very extensively what she wanted, as a(n) 8 for him to practice ordering. It took him quite
a while to order. Meanwhile, she was just sitting there, looking proud and 9 despite
her husband's endless stuttering.
Honestly, the whole thing just
did something to me. It was beautiful and made me realize that a huge part of love
is 10, patience and support. She could have made
the order and made things a lot easier for her husband and avoided the 11 from
other tables, but she didn't. However, she supported him and was proud to see him
12 the
order.
The whole thing also reminds me
that life isn't always 13 for everyone. These rich people seemed to have
everything, but they also have 14 they have to face daily. But I've learnt that life
isn't about waiting for the storm to 15,
it's about learning to dance in the rain.
