me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning,
___37___,I felt like getting up early.

As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and go off, I ___40___ an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its ___41___ and a basket rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He ___42___ from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already ___43___ washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts ___44___my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) ___45___ T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern ___46___would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed___47___ with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, ___48___ at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then ___49___ elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of___50___ in the way he seemed to be doing things— ___51___the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to admire it; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and ___52___, standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.
It was a ___53___ to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a ___54___if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt ___55__ of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

The waiter 48 his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter--- enough to feed a small army--- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left 49. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little 50, but you can never 51 what a waiter抯 face really shows. In another minute he brought 52n
tray with some bacon(熏肉) and some eggs. He 53
have misunderstood me , but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language , so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.

Last Friday my brother and I were driving home and had a fun conversation. So absorbed in our talk, my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a
31
, and we had no way to turn
32
. __33
my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was greatly
34
by his mistake and the needless
35
of $4.
We eventually reached an exit, and as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow
36
over to the side. He came out of his car and tried to
37
someone. I was busy trying to
38
which way we would go next, but my brother stopped and asked the guy if he needed any
39
And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off.
My brother gave him a wrench（扳手）, and then helped himthe flat. The young man said that this had been a
41
week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car
42
, and now this tire was flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air’’ and kept
43
us because he really would have been
44
if we hadn’t come along.
After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 to give us. “No,” my brother said. “We were never
45
to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong turn. But now we know
46
we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into a（n）to serve.”
What I loved most was
48
my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his mistake into
49
energy to help others even in a negative situation, which could only come from a calm mind and an open
50
