Cloze Test
Read the following passage, choose the one that best fits into the passage.
It was five days before Christmas. Holiday music plays over the sound system and coworkers excitedly 1 their plans. “Doing anything special?” they asked me. I shook my head 2 .
It was 3,000 miles from my family in Hawaii, pursuing(追求) my lifelong 3 of becoming a nurse. I attended classes all day, and then went straight to my full time 4 job at night. My weekly plan left me extremely tired and homesick.
I had 5 looked forward to the holidays. But this December I felt unable to go on. In my prayer(祷告) I told 6 that I could just get home to see my mum, dad and brothers. 1 could survive the next two years until I graduated. But 7 ? Rent, textbook and other expense left me with no 8 cash or money to go home. I hardly had money to eat.
“I'm on my 9 . Cover for me, will you?” asked Mari belle, another waitress, as she 10 me on her way to the employee's room. “ 11 , there's this guy at table five,” she said. “He's been sitting there for more than an hour, not making any trouble but not 12 anything either.”.She paused. “It's like he's — 13 somebody.”
I looked in the corner. 14 enough, there was a slim, pleasant－looking man 15 in a worn shirt, and a black baseball cap, just sitting, 16 . I went over, trying to force a smile. “I'm Cory.” I said. “please let me know if you want anything.”
I was turning to walk away 17 the man spoke. He had a soft, low voice, but somehow I could hear it clear and plain in the 18 restaurant. “I'd like an order of chips,” he said, “and a glass of water.” My heart 19 . Chips were the cheapest things on the menu, which meant I wouldn't get much of a 20 . But maybe this guy was broke(破产), and I sure know how that felt. So I tried my best to make him feel okay.
