It happened to Susan Black in a cold
winter. Everything seemed in a 1 those days. Both her parents suffering from
depression(抑郁症), sending
for a 2 became a common practice. As a woman in her
40s, it was a 3 job to be a teacher of 30 first-graders, who
were always 4, and she'd
tried all sorts of methods, but 5 to get them quiet in class...
Misfortunes were 6 one after another. After a long and tiring day
at work, Susan dragged herself along, 7 towards the parking lot. She
came to the car, only to find she had locked her keys and cell phone inside. 8kicking the tyre of the car, she sensed
tears 9 her cheeks.
"What's wrong?" a voice was
heard. Susan looked up, and saw a young man with a 10 at his side. Susan stopped weeping and
explained her situation, adding that 11 he called her husband, he
wouldn't bring her the spare car key, since he was working at the 12 end of the town and it was still not time to 13 the day's work. "Call your 14 and tell him I'm coming to get the key,"
the young man handed Susan his phone. "But that's nine miles' round
trip..." said Susan. "There's no time for 15. I'll be back as soon as
possible."
Two hours later, the motor rider returned
with a big smile and 16 face, key in hand. Susan 17 some money, but he refused. "Let's just
say I needed the 18,"
with those words, like a 19 in the movies, he rode off into the sunset.
For Susan, the "cowboy" not only
picked the key, but 20 her day, or rather, warmed the long and cold
winter days.
