课时作业(五)
完形填空
I was at the post office a few weeks ago. I was being 1 while an old man with obviously
significant 2 problems was also trying to pay his electricity bill next to me. He was 3 to
walk with a walking stick, and his hands were 4 all the time. It looked as if he were going to
fall. I found the old man was in 5 for lack of 20 cents
The lady behind the counter had the old man in such a state further 6 20 cents. He
searched his pocket, shaking violently and 7 looking upset. But instead of letting the man go.
she 8 that if his bill wasn't going to be paid in full, the electricity company would probably
give a 9 on next electricity bill for the 10 fee. It meant he would pay more the next time
I was 11 to have heard that and the scene really made me upset. So I went over and asked
the cashier to give all of the money back to the old man and then paid the 12 for him. The old
man was 13 and said. " Its very kind of you. But why were you doing this? " I said
"Because it was the right thing to do." He thanked me over and over and smiled at me on his way
out of the post office
The 14part in all of the event was that the old man walked straight to a supermarket and
purchased a basket of food. which he wouldn't have been able to afford if I had not got 15 at
the postoffice

Craig Blackburn, a father and car fan, built a Batmobile for his son's hope for using the vehicle
to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son's hope
after seeing the children's reaction to the Batmobile
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in
50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he
had
Mr Blackburm started the project at the beginning of 2ol 8 after hearing a friend in the US was
doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a
friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car
With the help of his friend, Mr Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching
six figures.
Mr Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower onto the back of the vehicle and said he had
thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though
Mr Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction in September
2019, the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by
