It was supposed to be a normal trip to the supermarket.My son was little,and it was getting close to naptime,so I was rushing to the cashier desk.However,when I went to start the car and realized my keys were gone —I must have locked them in the trunk with my bag.
I wasn’t sure what to do,so I took my son out of his car seat and went back inside the store with my cart still full of groceries.I had to use their phone to call my husband for the spare key.After multiple calls and messages with no answer,I was getting frustrated.
An employee at the store — whose name was Kelly — tapped me on the shoulder and took me to the Starbucks café that was inside the store.She walked over to the counter and came back with one for me.I told her how stupid I was,and she assured me it happened to a lot of people.She said if I couldn’t get in touch with my husband,they would call someone to get the trunk open.
After I got home that day,I kept thinking about what she had done for me and wanted to do something for her.When I saw her working again at the store,I told her how grateful I was.She would accept nothing in return and just told me to “pay it forward”.
So,Kelly,these are the things that you have done because I was thinking of your kindness as I did them:
Multiple doors held for people,letting someone ahead of me in line,picking up trash that someone tossed on the ground,hitting “yes” on the donation button at the checkout,helping a woman with heavy bags,food donations,helping a stranger find her glasses,and many others.
I am so glad I met Kelly that day.I am a better person because of my encounter with Kelly.Who would have thought one act of kindness could have so much of an effect on a person?

25.rapidly 考查词形转换。本空格前面是动词,因此这里应用副词来修饰它。
26.platforms 考查名词复数。本空格前面的one of暗示这里应用可数名词platform的复数形式。

31.Although/Though/While 考查连词。前后两个分句意义存在转折关系,因此这里应用连词Although/Though/While引导一个让步状语从句。
32.a 考查冠词。本空格后面的名词way是可数名词,因此这里应用不定冠词a。
