完形填空。 My dad was a used car salesman. Every1 on Thursday, he would head off to Shreveport, LA to

auction (拍卖).

Once, I was riding with him on the highway when he2a hitchhiker (搭便车的旅行者) with a

backpack. As soon as Dad saw him, he pulled the car over and offered him a3.

Dad asked him where he was going. The hitchhiker in front of me said he headed out to the west. Dad

told him we were heading to Shreveport so that was as far as we could take him. I can't remember4but

he told Dad lots of things that made him decide to go to the west. I sat in the5seat and watched the scene

with6. I could see the hitchhiker changed his7as he could feel someone was really8him. It was

quite an exchange and I watched it carefully as if I were9notes in order not to miss one word. I did know

it was quite cold outside and the hitchhiker was very10to be able to stay in our car.

We drove another forty-five minutes before we had to11the highway. We pulled over and Dad told him

to keep his head12and things would start getting better for him soon. He13his pocket and handed the

hitchhiker a twenty- dollar bill. The guy was very pleased now. His face14right there on the15, dark

highway.

We16on and my dad didn't say a single thing. I was17completely amazed by what I had just seen.

I was always told by everyone to never18up a hitchhiker and yet my dad did it every time he saw one. He

always gave them money even if he did not have very much of his own. I learned a lot about my dad and19.

I learned that just one single kind act can20someone's life.
