During a recent business trip there were no trains to the airport and many people were stranded(滞留)and had to buy new tickets for flights and also arrange hotels for the night．I was traveling alone and like everyone else I had to 1 in very long queues．
I had queued for about 30－40 minutes and was looking around 2 I saw a lady with a small child in her arms near the back of the queue．I knew she had at least 3 30－40 minutes to wait just to 4 my position and maybe 10 more minutes from there as I was quite close to the 5 of the queue．I could also see that she was quite 6 and the child was heavy and asleep on her shoulder．
I 7 until I caught her attention．Once I got her attention I 8 her forward and asked the people who were 9 me if they minded if I 10 positions in the queue with this lady．So I let the lady into my position and went to the back of the queue myself．
At first she said 11 as I know she was very surprised by this gesture, but when she got to the front of the queue and had 12 her hotel she looked back and found me in the queue．Her 13 of relief and gratitude made the rest of my 14 very easy indeed as I felt very good for the little 15 I had made．
What touched me too was that other people in the 16 close to me had seen what I did and 17 it was a nice thing to do．I hope I inspired in them the idea to do 18 things for others．
But I know I made that lady's day just a tiny bit 19 and allowed her to get her child to a bed sooner and that was 20 enough for me．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!
When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church．The 1 in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into 2 based on their ages．
One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big eyes and big 4 about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought． 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat 7 ．One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?”He replied, “My mom 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get 10 because he hadn't got a key．”
This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
Dear Bobby,
I'm sorry I 20 your house last night．Happy Easter．
