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.
