　　Passage 1

　　In a bakery I heard a lady say her foot was hurting and that she was going to call a cab. When walking back home I saw her outside the store, probably

　　21

　　for a cab.

　　I asked her where she was going. She told me a place which was actually on the

　　22

　　to the craft store I’d be

　　23

　　to. So I asked her to

　　24

　　the cab and I’d give her a ride. To my

　　__25

　　, she said okay without

　　26

　　. I wonder if I’d have been so

　　27

　　if a stranger made me the same offer!

　　Where she was going was

　　28

　　on the way to where I was going. It was such a

　　29__ interaction. But there was more!

　　When I had

　　30

　　what I went for and was waiting at the checkout, the woman behind me said she had a coupon（优惠券）for 50% off any

　　31

　　in the store. She gave it to me because she had a（an）

　　32

　　one! I thanked and gave her a

　　33

　　card.

　　They say “hat goes around comes around”, but sometimes it is hard to see how that

　　34__

　　as there is often a “manifestation（显现）delay”. Each action

　　35

　　a ripple （涟漪）that eventually

　　36

　　back to us, but sometimes it is much

　　37

　　so we forget their connection.

　　Today the causes and effects have appeared in a linkable manner where in

　　38

　　I’m also opening myself to receiving gifts, now or in the future. I can learn so much from others as to how

　　__39

　　they are to receive in a way I might not have been if

　　40

　　the same gift.
