完形填空It was an extremely hot summer day. A thunderstorm had passed and now the clouds were cleared and the sun returned. Steam was coming off the1 sidewalk as I parked my car. I2 into the local store to buy my son a shirt. The air conditioner there was welcome3 from the heat outside. Having made my4 , I walked back into the heat. I got into my car but had to wait to5 because all the cars were lining up at the red light. I looked out of my car window and saw something on the pavement. A single butterfly was6 fluttering (拍打) its wings but couldn't get off the ground. Besides, it was right in front of a truck's tire. Without a second thought, I got out of my car, 7 my hand so that the truck driver wouldn't move8 , and then bent down to look at the butterfly. One of its legs was9 in what looked like spilt soda. I reached down and10 the butterfly in my hands11 . I lifted its leg and it was12 . I opened my hands and up it flew towards the shining sun. My own eyes shined brighter and my own heart was13 as I watched it. Lots of people might wonder why I would step out into traffic like that to14 a single butterfly. All I can say is that my heart was15 me at that moment. And when I had done it, I felt more like my true self than I had all day.
