Yesterday I popped into a supermarket on my way home to buy a few items. So there I was, in the 15 items or less line, waiting to be __ 1 __ when I noticed a young lady with a baby in front of me. She was really __ 2 __ her items, which was probably what __ 3 __ my attention to her. So there I was staring, and I watched __ 4 __ the checkout girl told her the total. She began to search the __ 5 __ and then looked up, her face almost white. Intuitively ( 凭直觉 ) I knew what was wrong. She was __ 6 __ of money. As her total came to $8.80. I assumed she was low on the __ 7 __. So I opened my purse, reached in, and __ 8 __ a few of my own coins, saying “ How much do you need, honey ? ” She looked at me __ 9 __ and said “Like all of it”. Without even __ 10 __ and putting my own coins back into my purse, I told the checkout girl to add it to my __ 11 __. The lady could barely speak. She told me she had $10 in her purse but had no __ 12 __ what happened to it. I told her it was no accident today that of all the checkouts I could have lined up at I __ 13 __ at this one, right behind her. I wished her a __ 14 __ day, and paid for the total. The lady never did __ 15 __ me or even so much as look back. She walked away __ 16 __ digging through her bag looking for what I supposed was her __ 17 __ $10 note. Yet it doesn ' t matter at all. What I love most about all this is that the checkout girl saw, __ 18 __ the five or so other people behind me. What I hope is that they will __ 19 __ what they saw. Someday, somewhere, perhaps they or the people they tell, may too be __ 20 __ to do the same. 1 A.examined B . served C . treated D . ordered 2 A.showing off B . looking at C . struggling with D . thinking of 3 A.paid B . needed C . devoted D . drew 4 A.until B . since C . as D . if 5 A.purse B . supermarket C . counter D . baby 6 A.disappointed B . shocked C . nervous D . short 7 A.list B . spotC . change D . way 8 A.seized B . selected C . saved D . carried 9 A.calmly B . blankly C . elegantly D . guiltily 10 A.introducing B . countingC . hesitating D . planning 11 A.total B . money C . fare D . note 12 A.effect B . problem C . idea D . access 13 A.turned around B . ended up C . looked up D . came back 14 A.humourous B . valuable C . warm D . happy 15 A.blame B . admire C . thank D . encourage 16 A.hardly B . alsoC . even D . still 17 A.missing B . given C . useless D . returned 18 A.along with B . except for C . including D . concerning 19 A.imagine B . forgetC . ignore D . share 20 A.discouraged B . invited C . inspired D . excited
