Question

My husband and I only have one car． So after work I always walk to his office and wait for him to drive mc home．

One day, while I was waiting for him, a beautiful Cadillac      near me．Honestly, the driver was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen outside of a movie screen． Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and she had         like an even row of pearls． Minutes later, a man came out of the building and walked over to her． They kissed and drove off．

Sitting there, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, I wanted to cry． It is so        that some people have it all．

The next week I saw her again, and after that it became almost          to see her． I would wonder if she and her husband ate out a lot and where they went．  I wanted her to          the car so I could see her in full length． Did she wear classy, high-heeled shoes?

A few weeks, I was waiting in my usual spot and the lady's husband came over to their car．He opened the door． Slowly the pretty woman walked around to the passenger side—         on a walking cane． She           one leg with her hands and then the other one; she had a prosthetic（假肢） on her left leg and a brace （文架） on her right one．

When my husband arrived I told him about what had happened． He said he knew her husband and that, when the lady was 12 years old, she had been        in a car that got stuck on the railroad tracks． Both her parents were killed．The rail company made a large         with her because the crossing had no          ; that is why she owned such a nice car．

For weeks I had           this woman and her way of life． Now I realize how lucky I am．When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you don't be       appearances．
