Question

　 The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good 31 in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I 32 to know him. For a moment, I thought he might be 33 , but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 34 . I felt that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to 35 that I could possibly have ever met with his friend out of millions of people in Chicago. But, 36 , I just smiled and reminded（提醒） him that Chicago was a very 37 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be glad to drop the topic and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 38 to tell me all about his friend.

His friend’s main 39 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player, and he 40 had his own tennis court（网球场）. There were a lot of people with swimming 41, yet there were only two people with private (私人的）tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 42 like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He 43 that maybe there were more private courts in the country than he 44 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 45 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence (巧合)46_ his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 47 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 48__ the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.

“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 49 and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my 50 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.
