（湖北卷）Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a 41 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet
from 42 to toe, explained that he had 43 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant（怀
孕的）wife and his two children 44
at the car and said that he would hitchhike（搭便车）back.
Once I had 45 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children
were both 46 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he 47 me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater 48 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and 49 .
While the little ones played and ran 50 , I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for
the 51 .
It was about 5 a. m. before they 52 . The young fellow asked me how much he 53 me and I told him that the
petrol pump（加油泵）had 54 $ 15. He offered to pay“call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later, I received a 55 from interstate, a large bus company that we bad been trying to 56 to
stop off at our roadhouse for a long time, It 57 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,
the most 58 person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and 59 me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service
station, In this 60 , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

湖南卷）When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.

I would mess it up, 37 I had never worked at the bar before. I 38 that instead of making money, I would end up
owing it.
“You can do it.” said my mother. “ 39 , you won’t get much business until lunch.”
“But I’ll never remember the orders, and I’m no good 40 money. Please, Mom, don’t 41 me!”
“Then I’ll help you,” she said.
I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mother’s 42 was a bad one, but I 43 .
When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was 44 . Because the weather that day was rainy and cold,
people wanted hot snacks and drinks. 45 , I was really slow at taking the orders and making change. The line of
people grew, and everybody seemed 46 . I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I 47 a cup into pieces. What
a mess! Then my mother came to 48 me, and she also showed me how to make 49 . If someone gave me $ 5 for
something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over 50 quarters and a dollar and said,“75 cents makes four dollars, plus
one dollar makes five.”Things went more 51 after that.
By the end of the day, I could remember orders, 52 the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a
little 53 when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she 54
that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy 55 the restaurant I would open
one day.

wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved 38 the cars could be on site 39 the airport opened, and the
official opening was only ten days away! 40 other local paving company wanted to do the job, 41 it couldn’t be
done in such a short time.
“Because we were new and really needed the work, we were 42 to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer
and 43 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also 44 them that if we failed, they would be

“We got the job and immediately went into 46 . Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce
electricity for the site. Our 47 challenge was to keep the rock mixture 48 enough. All the available water
wagons (洒水车) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.
49 , I got a special 50 to rent fire engine hoses (消防水龙带) and connect them to nearby hydrants (消防栓); then
I 51 held one of those hoses to 52 down the rock.
“Those ten days were filled with challenges that 53 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night
before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 54 company that had cars on the parking lot.
“The key to our success was having the 55 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting
it done.”
