完型填空
Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness.So often they get 1 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 2 at a bus station.The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn't in a good 3 .
That's when a woman asked me if I had any spare 4 to help her get a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure, ”I said sarcastically(挖苦地).“How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 5 and reached into my bag for some money.As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 6 .
I reached back into my bag and brought out a 7 I had bought earlier.I handed it to her with a(n) 8 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice.Getting a 9 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 10 days!
As she took the food, a look of 11 washed over her.In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don't live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 12 be used, but I took it.
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 13 of five dollars.I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well. 14 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 15 my twenty.When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 16 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn't taking it 17 , she started crying and hugged me.
From now on, when I wonder if it is 18 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman.Maybe I am really making a 19 for someone.So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 20 another human being!
