2.I was diagnosed with cancer at 31.At that time I worked in the public service and was vaguely aware of a(n)(41)B named Sally who was in my department.When she heard about my diagnosis,she(42)Ame and was supportive,sincere and sympathetic.I was surprised at the depth of her(43)D because she was a stranger to me.
I had expressed (44)B abouthaving chemo(化疗).So just before my first chemo,she gave me a (45)C.She told me she'd be giving me one just before every chemo (46)BI was finished.I(47)CI'd be having chemo every two weeks for months-I didn't want her to feel obligated(有义务的).She told me that she wanted me to say,"What is that Sally going to (48)Awith this time?"instead of"I've got another (49)D chemo session."
Each time she found me and(50)A me with something a candle,a book or a soap.Each was(51)Bchosen and beautifully wrapped.I was a bit (52)Cat first,but as the (53)Bwent on I found myself looking forward to her presents.And she never (54)A one.
I had thought it wouldn't (55)C,but it did.She never broke her (56)Dand that touched me incredibly.It didn't (57)B what the chemo gift was.It made a difference that she cared enough to think of me every (58)Aknowing I was going through a (59)B course of action that would,in the end,save my life.Whenever I look at these gifts now,I always feel (60)Cto Sally for her being so kind and considerate.
