I had just finished high school when a disaster hit our family. It was October 1962, and 1 was out of the question. So I found a job. In 1971, my employer announced only graduates(大學畢業(yè)生) would get 2. My job seemed at a dead end unless I 3 further. And to graduate, I had to pass the higher secondary examination first.
I 4 an admission form(表格) and rode to the Human Resource(人力資源) Management office. On arriving there, I was 5---I couldn’t find the form. It was the last day to 6 the form, and no blank forms were 7at the office. I was standing there, disappointed, 8 an elderly gentleman asked me why I looked so 9. I told him what happened, 10, “Now I’ll have to wait another year.”
“Well,” he said, “if you’re really serious about studying further, come with me. I have a 11 blank form at home.”
It was 12:30 pm. The counter(柜臺) would 12 at 2 pm. His home was 10 km away and I had a slight 13of going somewhere with a stranger. Anyway, this was my last chance. We reached his house on my bike. He advised me to remain 14, and gave me a pen and the form. When it was 15, he told me to rush back and 16 carefully. I reached the office at 1:58 pm. There were two people in line, waiting for their 17. Just then, the counter official announced that no more forms would be 18 after mine. I breathed a sigh of 19.
I passed the exam and later got a bachelor’s degree. I also got the promotions. I 20 it all to the timely help from a true gentleman whose name I forgot to ask.

I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A. PhD. student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.

We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile----warm and reassuring—and I retuned her gift by smiling back.

 “Must be a special lady,” whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.

 “Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one.’ ”Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”

 “Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; be was very romantic and---of course---- I miss him since he’s passed away.”

I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.

It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased(bought). “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.

I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her-that was the night that I won her heart .

Why was the writer in a hurry that day ? 

A. He was to meet his girlfriend.           B. He had to go back to school soon.

C. He was delayed by an elderly lady.       D. He had to pick up some groceries.

What does the underlined phrase “her gift” (Paragraph 2 ) refer to ?  

A. Her words.     B. Her smile.     C. Her flowers.     D. Her politeness.

Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady ?

A. She told him a nice story.           B. She allowed him to pay first.

C. She gave him encouragement.        D. She liked flowers very much.

What is the message conveyed in the story ?

A. Flowers are important for a date.        B. Small talk is helpful.

C. Love and kindness are rewarding.       D. Elderly people deserve respecting.
