18.Kindness at a Fastfood RestaurantIt was in summer and I got one of the few jobs a 14yearold can find-working at Burger King,a fastfood restaurant.It (11)Cwasn't a good job,but it meant money,(12)A was something I needed.
One day,I was working behind the front counter,taking (13)B.The customers were coming and going,and the woman who (14)D didn't seem any different from most others.
She ordered her meal and I told her the total.As she searched(15)Bher purse to find some change,the woman soon (16)B that she was about a dollar short."I'm (17)C to say this,but I guess I won't be able to make my purchase (18)C,"she said sadly.
That's when I had the idea of paying the difference for her.She refused at first,but after I(19)B,she agreed.She thanked me and moved to the end of the counter to (20)A her order.I continued with my work and thought(21)C more of it.
About an hour later (22)Dhad slowed down and I was waiting for my next customer.Then I glanced over towards the (23)A and saw the same woman whom I'd helped with the money entering again.I (24)B rognized her.
She walked straight up to me and said,"I want to thank you again for what you did.You see,I'm a diabetic(糖尿病患者),and(25)D I need to eat something right away.That's (26)CI came in earlier.If you hadn't helped me as you did,I (27)Chave fainted.Thank you."
She (28)B me two dollars,twice what I'd given her.
(29)Athe woman walk away,I realized that God had used me to help her.In the end,I was (30)D not only with money but also with the satisfaction of knowing that I'd helped someone out of a tight spot.

15.When I was a college student,I did a lot of traveling abroad.That was because a professor(41)Dme to do so.She said,"Now it is the time for you to travel around the world,(42)Ayour knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!"I(43)Aher.
Since I started to work for a (44)Bcompany,however,I have done most of my traveling through the Internet.By using the Internet,I have seen the (45)Cof many cities on my computer screen.And I have really made business (46)D,too.With the help of the Internet,I have also got (47)Aabout food in different countries.
Therefore,I was beginning to feel that actual trips were (48)Bnecessary when I happened to read a famous chef's (厨师) comment on the Internet.He said,"It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country,because we can't enjoy food and the(49)Caround us at the same time.So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian(50)B?"Those words reminded me of my(51)Cadvice.As information technology (52)D,you might be able to do without making some real trips.But this also means that you will miss the various(53)Byou can get from traveling.
