A．repairmen

I was on the shoulder of a busy highway in Chicago, looking at my tool-box and spare tire (备用轮胎). I had   31  tires before—that was not a big deal—but I was   32  about being approached by another person while stuck on the side of the road, or being   33  by a passing car.
As I bent into the trunk (后备箱), I heard a man’s   34  from behind and to my left. I had no idea what he said,   35  when I heard his voice I screamed and ran toward the   36  building. After a moment I realized he wasn’t 37  me, so I turned to see what he was doing.
38 , I saw a minibus full of boy scouts (童子军队员). They then   39  in front of my car. And I heard the man tell the boys to remove the spare tire from my trunk to   40  my flat! As I timidly (胆怯地) walked back, I could hear him speaking to the   41 .
“See, boys,” he said to them, “this young lady is terrified, and for good   42 . Thousands of young women are   43  every year. She did the right thing   44  like that.” He then told the boys how they, as men, are   45  not only for   46  and protecting them. After he made that  47 , he gave step-to-step instructions on changing a flat on the side of the road   48 .
The boys learned a lot that day, and so did I. I’m so grateful there are   49  men in the world. I saw one,   50  our youth to be honorable, making the world a safer place for women, for everyone.

Great Minds Reminded of Mom
After a long, exhausting day, a friend of mine, Allen, headed home. On the road, he passed an elderly woman who was standing by a car with a flat tire. If that were his mother, he thought, he would want someone to help her. With a tired sigh, he turned around and drove back.
Just as he reached the stranded woman, a truck pulled up and a burly farmer got out. "Kindof reminds you of your mom, too?" the man asked as the two of them pitched in together to change the tire for the woman.
