Question

By doing this one day, I got to   32  a young homeless man. He was often   33  the magazine at the train station.

He was a poor farmer from another country. After a while, I discovered that his   34  was close to mine. It   35__ that we were born in the same month.

I met him last year shortly   36  his birthday, and after congratulating(祝贺) him, without thinking, I asked if he had had a good day. He   37  and said that he hadn’t really celebrated(庆祝). I felt so   38__.

I just couldn’t help(情不自禁) thinking of this nice, young man being    39  on his 25th birthday with no presents, no cake, nothing! So I went home and looked in my yarn(毛线) basket.   40  for me, I had enough yarn left. I set to work and knitted(编织) a   41  for the young man. The yarn had become a little dirty   42  I didn’t knit very often. Then I washed the yarn so the scarf(围巾) would be clean when he got it.
