Question

When I settled in Chicago, my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. Then I had a       problem and had to go to hospital for a     examination.

It seemed a small     compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go      right from the beginning. Not having a car or      the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get me from A to B.      I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was        that I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly boarded a bus that was taking me in the        direction.

I        the bus and stood on the pavement not knowing what to do. I looked into the eyes of a        who was trying to get past me.        instead of moving on, she stopped to ask if I was      . After I explained my        to her, she pointed to a bus stop across the street,      a bus would take me back into the city to my appointment. Sitting there waiting, I felt      that someone had been willing to help.      , hearing a horn (喇叭) nearby, I looked up to see a car with my new friend        at me to get in. She had returned to offer me a      to the hospital.

Such unexpected      from a passer-by was a lovely gift to receive. As I climbed out of the car at the hospital and turned to thank her, she smiled and told me not to lose        , for all things are possible.
