Ⅲ.Cloze test
In 1998 I had an experience that had a deep and lasting effect on me. Eric and I were eating lunch at a local soup and salad place, 57 I noticed a woman cleaning the tables nearby. She looked very sad and 58 , as if she’d just been severely 59 by her boss or had gotten some bad news.
Eric and I didn’t have a lot of money at the time — 60 eating this cheap meal was a stretch(滥用)of our budget(预算)— but as we were 61 up to leave, I walked up to this woman, 62 her a $5 bill and said, “I know the work you do is probably not 63 , but I want you to know that we think you’re doing a great job.”
The woman’s facial 64 changed quickly, from sadness to real 65 . She looked me straight in the eye and said, “Thank you very much.” She did her best to 66 back tears but with only partial success. I don’t 67 what else she said to me, but I’ll always remember the look on her face. At that moment we were really connected—human being to human being. I 68 whether it was the $5 that mattered to her—in fact it was the 69 that someone treated her as a real person. Eric and I were both deeply moved by the 70.
Doing that small service 71 this woman made me forget my own worries. At least temporarily I entered a higher 72 of consciousness, shooting right up to the state of joy. I didn’t 73 that state for long, but I had a 74 experience that made me a different person.
That 75 taught me that even when I’m not in a great place myself, I still have the capacity to have a 76 effect on someone else. I don’t have to do anything unusual—30 seconds to offer a kind word to a stranger is all it takes.
