第三节 完形填空(共20小题，计分30分)
I work in a company in India. And it has 21 in Germany and the UK, so I 22 take business trips to these places. We have a(n) 23 at the office by which anybody coming back to India from a foreign country gets chocolates for all the 24 . Naturally the chocolates are finished 25 because everyone loves them and 26 to grab(抓抢) as many as possible. I had noticed that the housekeeping staff(勤杂人员) 27 in our company never got to 28 even a single chocolate.
Recently, I came back to 29 after a month-long trip from Munich and I'd bought a lot of chocolates for the office staff. I called over 30 of the housekeeping staff members called Babu. I gave him a box of chocolates and told him to distribute it 31 among the housekeeping staff. His face immediately broke into a wide smile and this made me 32 .
But the story doesn’t 33 here. The best part of it a11 was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates among everyone equally, __34 giving extra chocolates to a woman who has a 5-year-old son. It was so 35 for me to see this. I find it really 36 to understand how we，who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies, do not even feel like 37 and just think how much we can grab. 38 , Babu, who earns only just about enough to raise his family, was so 39 and did not even keep one extra chocolate for himself.
