20.I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position.One day,I took the subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown.The following account of what happened to me has taught me much about culture(36)D.
Since all the(37)B were taken,I stood.Suddenly,I felt someone pulling on my bag.(38)B I probably was in someone's way,I moved over slightly.But in one quick motion(动作),I felt my bag removed from my back,and in a flash it was(39)D.I turned around to see who the thief was.I looked at the people standing behind me,but didn't see my bag or anyone(40)A.My heart sank and I began to(41)A.
I glanced around the car only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady,and sitting on her lap was my(42)B.I tried to get it back from her lap.But as I began to(43)A it up,she quickly grabbed(抓住) it back and held onto it.I looked around at the people standing beside me,and those sitting beside her,but no one took any(44)C of the situation.Trying not to cause a(an)(45)B,I tried to negotiate through gestures.I used my hands as best as I could,but she(46)D my requests for my bag and pointed to my back.She picked up my bag,showing how(47)C it was.I finally began to understand.She was holding my bag to(48)C me.
At the next stop,a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway.Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag,(49)D it on her lap.They didn't talk;(50)A this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger's bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off,the woman(51)D handed me back my bag.But(52)C I had a chance to thank her,she had disappeared into the crowd.
Sadly,this considerate custom was more (53)B to me than if I had been robbed.Everyone back home had heard of being robbed-that was (54)A city behavior-but having a stranger hold onto someone's bag out of (55)C,in a city of twelve million people-that was truly unusual.
