I finished my last work of the week and could hardly wait to get home, take off my nursing shoes, and relax. As I approached(走近) my 36 , I saw one of my 37 standing by the bus stop. I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a ride home, and besides, it was 38 cold to be standing outside on the coldest 39 in January. I didn’t know where she lived, but I was 40 I would be able to find my way back. We 41 about our work as I drove and before we knew it, we arrived at 42 house. I started driving back. 43 looked familiar, but at first that didn’t bother me. But soon I 44 something wrong. I 45 nothing. But I told myself to stay 46 . I was beyond neighborhoods, streets and 47 streetlights. I no longer knew where I was now. How could I be so stupid! I looked down at my 48 . It was now 2:30 a.m. My gas was slowly running out. I 49 the car and turned off the engine. In total defeat, I put my head down on the wheel, 50 . Then I raised my head and 51 a shadow down the road in front of me. I turned my headlights on. A car! I drove a little 52 , got out of my car and knocked on the window of that car. An elderly man 53 rolled his window down. I said that I didn’t know how to get back into town. In silence, he started driving. I ran back to my car and drove 54 him. Finally I recognized a(n) 55 street. As I turned to head home, the car disappeared. Then I pulled into my driveway (车道) when the warning light for my gas tank (汽油箱) turned on. Though so many years have passed, I still thank the old man from my deepest heart. 小题1: A．car B．bike C．bus D．train 小题2: A．classmates B．patients C．workmates D．students 小题3: A．not B．exactly C．too D．hardly 小题4: A．morning B．night C．noon D．afternoon 小题5: A．happy B．afraid C．sorry D．sure 小题6: A．cared B．worried C．explored D．talked 小题7: A．my B．her C．your D．his 小题8: A．Nothing B．Everything C．Something D．Anything 小题9: A．existed B．escaped C．realized D．imagined 小题10: A．mistook B．came C．missed D．recognized 小题11: A．calm B．quiet C．brave D．silent 小题12: A．accurately B．briefly C．even D．illegally 小题13: A．engine B．wheel C．seat D．watch 小题14: A．deserted B．drove C．stopped D．washed 小题15: A．excited B．helpless C．delighted D．satisfied 小题16: A．begged B．saw C．impressed D．adopted 小题17: A．nervously B．faster C．back D．closer 小题18: A．slowly B．unlikely C．equally D．carefully 小题19: A．under B．before C．above D．behind 小题20: A．cautious B．particular C．ordinary D．familiar
