I am a sales representative   and travel all over England to visit my customers.One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am.I 36  my car,bundled my scarf around me and  37 up the street towards his shop front.

     The Street where his store was 38 was partially blocked by two  large,ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete.I prepared myself for the 39 cat calls(起哄).I was up early,out in the cold,and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even 40  .

     Then  I stopped  and 4l  my  own father. Both he and  my grandfather  had  42 much  of their early  careers working outside  in   similar  jobs before  they  43   and  became  engineers.   I recalled how hard Dad worked,in all kinds of   44  -;how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(凍傷). I realized that if was cold then these  two  guys were  probably   45 ,given that it looked as though they'd already been      46  for hours.

     My customer's  shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 47 .I Went to  a coffee sh、op  around the  comer,   48       myself a hot chocolate,then two  more  with whipped cream .I made my  49       down the Street to wards the workmen.One of them turned to me with  a wide smile and  50 me  with  a joking  "Oh  lovey,you  shouldn't have!"  To his   51  ,I passed him the  tray with  the  two   52  chocolates.I  replied,"Maybe  not.  53 it's  too  cold  to  be  working  outside today。"    

    I got two  looks  of genuine  (真誠的) 54  ,and  a  timely  reminder  that it's as easy to be  55  as it is to pre-judge—but the former is so much nicer!

語法填空

  Each story is different.Some are detailed; others are unclear.Some have a beginning, middle and end;   1   wander without a clear conclusion.Yet all those things do not really matter.  2   matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard-without   3  (interrupt), statement or judgment.Listening to someone's story costs   4  (little)than expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and analysis.

  I often thought of what a woman once taught me, and I reminded   5   of the importance of stopping, sitting down and   6  (true)listening.

  I am a doctor.And, not long after, in   7   unexpected twist(扭傷), I became the patient, with a judgment of numerous sclerosis(細胞壁硬化)at age 31.Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time-in a wheelchair.For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair,   8   I had to quit when my hands   9  (affect).I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now   10   the viewpoint of a physician and patient, I tell them I believe in the power of listening and tell them I know that vast healing takes place within me when someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.
