2019年天津卷真题完形填空篇章精读
I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some unknown station.
The heart-stopping(令人十分担忧的) moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the contents of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.
Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered it while I was on the phone in the dining room. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard a lady say. In my husband’s hand was my wallet, with not a penny missing. She left before I could even make it to the door to offer my thanks.
After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who identified the lady as Erin Smith. Without delay, I called to thank her. She said she spotted(发现) my wallet on a bus seat. She calculated that going to a stranger’s house was a risky move, but she decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation. I would want someone to try to find me," she said.
This one stranger responded beautifully to my small crisis , but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right after Erin took possession of my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license to an online forum(论坛), trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face. I’ve never exchanged words with those moms beyond small tall, but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the people I encounter(意外遇见) tend to act.
Looking back , I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone beyond what almost anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely grateful.
