could stay in my room if you don't mind.I’m  39 , so I'll be here.“ The young man gave the sincere advice.

The elderly couple accepted his  40 with gratitude.They apologized for the  41 they had caused him.The next day, the rain stopped and it  42 .When the old gentleman went to pay his bill, the same clerk said." The room you and your wife stayed in is not a proper  43  room in this hotel, so you don't need to pay.”

The old gentleman nodded in   44  :  “You are an employee that every boss in the hotel business would dream of.Perhaps someday I’ll build a hotel for you.”The clerk was__45 but, deciding that the

guest must have been  46 , he gave the remark  47 thought.

Two years later, the young man received a registered letter from the old gentleman, in which he 48 the experience of that dark stormy night.The letter also  49 a formal invitation, asking that young man to pay a visit.

At a street comer in Manhattan, the young man met his  50 guest.The old gentleman, pointing

to a magnificent new building__51 over the crossroads, said, "Look, that is the hotel I  52 to build for you.I hope you will  53 it for me.Remember what I said then? Well, I was  54  about it.”

The young man stammered, "But…will there be any  55 ,sir?  Why do you choose me? And who are you?"

“My name is William Aster.”This building was none other than the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a symbol of supreme status and honor in New York.

It was one of those cold winter nights in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco . I was driving an eyesore(丑陋的东西)that could only be  36  as a “ car ” by someone who was either a shameless liar or a good friend .

It was  37  to drive the car because you had to keep your fingers and toes crossed to keep the engine running . I tried to imagine I was driving a huge clumsy  38  ; that way I didn’t  39  the slow speed .

That night I must have uncrossed my fingers to scratch something . The car  40  in the middle of a four-lane stretch of Oak Street . I  41  for a place to turn off(拐弯), but the street was lined with parked cars .

There I sat , in  42  traffic , as tons of vehicles screamed by . In my rearview mirror(后视镜)I saw a car  43  behind me . I knew what was coming . Soon the horn would start and someone would be  44  at me . But I was  45  .

A stranger got out of the car and came to my  46  . He asked , “ Do you want a  47  ?”

I was surprised but  48  . And then he  49  to his car and two teens piled out to help push my car . When I was  50  delivered to a side street , they got back into their car and rejoined the sea of  51  . I didn’t get to  52  them .

Over the years I’ve realized something about the  53  who stopped to help . I’ve noticed that every time I’m in  54  , he appears . The one true thing in this world is an unasked  55  provided by a stranger .
