题目列表(包括答案和解析)

About two years ago while working downtown at our company’s headquarters I met a man. I’11 call him “Martin”. Martin was a short, middle-aged man with a glandular(内分泌) problem. He was fat, using a walking stick to help, and was painfully shy. Almost every morning I saw Martin on the elevator. We were usually the only people there, so I made 1conversation as we 2 to the 15th floor. I chatted with him about sometimes weather and sometimes about each other’s weekend.
About six months 3our daily elevator chats, Martin came to my office and asked if I had a minute to chat. Though we worked on the same floor, I’m sure he had to 4to find me. I invited him to sit down. He said, “I wanted to come and say 5. The company has let me go. Today will be my last day.”
I didn’t know what to say. 6I was too familiar with saying goodbye to co-workers, it was never 7. Honestly, I usually avoid talking about the event because I felt 8and at a loss for words. I told him I was 9and asked if there was anything I could do. He said, “No, I’11 be fine, I just wanted to take the time to thank you.” I was now 10. He explained that our daily talks had 11a lot to him.
He thanked me not only for 12with him in the mornings, but for speaking directly to him and others on the elevator, and for telling him a quick joke in the crowded cafeteria. It seemed that 13had ever been his friend before—or if so they were 14to him in public.
He said he didn’t want to 15much of my time, as he knew I was busy and he needed to 16his personal things. He had tears in his eyes as he shook my hand and left.
I’ve never seen him since, but I imagine he’s doing well. Meeting him 17my life. Now when I’m in a hurry, or have a bad day, I try extra hard to speak 18to those around me. I remind myself that it’s just as easy to say something nice as to say something 19, and I’m awed (敬畏) at how 20our daily actions are.
