Last week I was in the boarding area of the airport excited about my trip home to see my parents. I was busy planning for the weekend,1        I was taken out of my daydreaming by an elderly woman talking 2        into her cell?phone. She kept asking the person to 3        her where she was. She 4        the gate number again and again. She got a little louder each time she did that. Many people snickered (窃笑) because she was nearly 5        and thought how silly old people could be.

  Then I heard her say, "I'm 6        ,but I can't hear you. There seems to be something wrong with my hearing aid.”"That's too 7 .”I thought as I moved forward to board the flight. Then I noticed her        was becoming increasingly frantic (发狂似的) as she tried to understand the person on the other end of the phone. It was almost my 9     to board. I couldn't 10       looking back at the woman. It made me think how 11     I was to have my hearing. And I realized I could offer her some 12    

  I suddenly got out of the 13        and went to the woman. I showed her to 14        me the phone and shouted, "Let me help you. I'll tell you what tlie person is 15    . ”She looked at me and agreed 16        I took the phone from her,17        who I was,listened for a moment and told the woman her hus?band was 18        her outside the airport as he could not enter the gate area.

Finally,I pointed her in the right 19     . it took me less than two minutes to finish the task,but my 20      in having been able to help her remains strong.
