A serious car crash leads one woman to rediscover her faith in human kindness.

In March last year,the car I was driving was 1    in a serious crash with another car on a country road. I soon2   myself at the centre of a frenzy of activity,surrounded by paramedics, police, rescuers and members of the local community. An enormous can opener was used to 3    me out of my wrecked car and into an ambulance.

Over the 4   eight hours,I was transported to hospital,dragged up,X-rayed and diagnosed (诊断)with a broken neck. Knowing that I,d 5    death by a fraction of a second sustained (支撑) me throughout the long wait in the emergency ward and6   me to deal with the visible distress of my hospital visitors.

Only after I' d convinced the last friend to 7    could I direct my energies inwards. Flitting (飞快地掠过)in and out of my line of vision during my hospital 8    was the Red Cross lady,a gentle 9    in white who,from time to time,popped her head in to 10    cups of tea. After the visitors had gone,she ventured further into my cubicle to 11   if I was all right.

I found myself 12    her everything:about the shock of the 13   ,my attitude toward my family as a result of my injuries,and about my whole life. While I 14   for an ambulance to transport me to another hospital,she stood by my trolley and15    my hand as I off-loaded all the emotion I' d stoically withheld(强忍着的)from my family. She 16   ,quietly.

Even now,the 17    that I have her contact details provides me with great 18    .1 look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when my guardian angel and I can meet again, in 19         circumstances.

In times of crisis,faith can sustain us:for me,my faith in human nature,reawakened by the 20         of a stranger, has helped ease my journey back to recovery.
