题目内容
Many years ago, I owned a service station (加油站) and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a ______ on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from head to toe, explained that he had ______ out of petrol (汽油) and left his pregnant (怀孕) wife and his two children ______ in the car. He said that he would hitchhike (搭便车) back.
Once I had ______ a can with petrol, I took him back to his car. When we got there, his 2-year-old and 4-year-old children were both crying. I invited them to my house. I had turned the heater on in the roadhouse ______ I left, so when we went in, it was nice and warm. And then I prepared bread and butter for the ______. and hot chocolate for the adults.
It was about 5 a.m. before they left. The young fellow asked me ______ he owed me and I told him that the petrol pump (加油泵) had shown $15.
About a month later, I ______ a letter from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to get to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It ______ that the young fellow was its general manager.
In his letter, he thanked me again and informed me that, from then on, all their ______ would stop at my service station. In this case, a little bit of kindness was rewarded (报答) with a huge amount of benefits (益处).
