完形填空
Many years ago, when I was fresh out
of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri
to spend Christmas with them. I stopped halfway at a 1to refill my tank. While I was
standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an old couple
who were also 2 gas.
I started my car, but had gone
only a few miles when black smoke 3from the back of my car. I
stopped and4what I should do. A car slowed
down behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said
they 5 take me to my parents' home. We chatted on the
way into the city. Before leaving, I asked the husband 6their address and he gave me his
business card.
Before Christmas, I wrote to the
couple asking if I could thank them 7 . Soon,
I received a Christmas present with a note from them. They 8refused my request. They just
said helping me had made their holiday 9.
Years later, after finishing a
one-day meeting in New York, I returned to my car, only to find that I'd left
the lights 10all day, and the battery (电池) was dead.
Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford Dealership —— a shop11 cars —— was right next door. I walked over and
found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is
Friendly Ford?" I asked and told them about my12. They quickly drove a pickup
truck to my car and started it. They would accept no pay, 13 I wrote them a note to say thanks after
returning home. Soon, I got a letter from one of them. 14had ever taken the time to write
to him to say “thank you”, he said, and they were two 15words but meant so much.
