My wife and I bought a secondhand car for our tour. During our two months on the road, Lucy and I had a really  36  experience with a good, honest garage and some helpful  37 .
We were driving west on Highway 101 when our "check engine" light came on. We limped of (拐入) a (n )  38  into Las Cruces. We had a real car  39 . Lucy pulled the car into a local garage. By this time the car was  40  so badly that it was shaking all over. This was the  41  _ time to arrive at a garage--late Friday afternoon. Service adviser Olivia was busy  42  paper work and customers as we explained our problems.   43  there were already “ten cars behind”,  he told us to  44   the car into the garage.
Evelyn, who we later  45  was one of the top motor technicians, took  46  of our car repairing. He and Olivia and some other repairmen stayed several hours after closing,  47_     the car.
Early the next morning (the shop was  48  closed on Saturdays) , Evelyn finally located the problem and fixed it easily within only  49  .
Later Olivia pointed out to us that it was our  50  that helped. " You didn't come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an  51  of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon. Customer's attitude  52  a lot.  He was right in some way, customers should show politeness and understanding to people who  53   them. Even if people were extremely busy, they found way to  54  try and help when they are met with politeness.
The pleasant experience I had shows that  55  for other people can always help.

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.

We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.

The next scene was a complete contrast (对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!

Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “Stars”!

Keving Rogers used to be my boss.At that time he always told us to sell more.As soon as I could,I left his shop and got a new job in another place.The last time I saw Rogers was more than ten years ago.At least that’s what I thought.But now I am not so sure.

I was on my way to my office in the centre of town.There is a small park nearby,which I sometimes walk through after lunch.The park was almost empty except for a shabby-looking man on one of those benches(凳子).The man looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old gray coat.It was cold and windy,and he was trembling(哆嗦).

“It’s a long time since I had a meal.Can you help me?”he said.There was something about his voice that sounded familiar.I gave him a few pennies.As he went past me I looked at his face closely.I wondered where I had seen him before.Then it suddenly came to me.Could it possibly be…? No!Impossible,I thought.I watched him walking away.He was the same height as Rogers but looked a lot thinner than I remembered.

Yesterday I ran into someone who had worked for Rogers at the same time as I did,and had stayed on longer.I started telling him about the man I had seen in the park.”For a moment I thought it was our old boss.But it couldn’t have been.Rogers must be the head of a company now.”I said.

My ex-workmate shook his head,”I thought you knew.” “Knew?Knew what?What are you talking about?”

“Rogers was sent to prison six years ago.He’s probably been out by now.For all I know he is sleeping on park benches and begging money from passers-by.”

I asked, "Is it because they hold up your head?" she replied, "No, it is   51   on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough friends and   52   that you will have a shoulder to cry   53   when you need it." Then and there I understood the most important body part is not a   54   one.
