I finished my last work of the week and could hardly wait to get home, take off my nursing shoes, and relax.
As I approached(走近) my
36 , I saw one of my
37 standing by the bus stop. I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a ride home, and besides, it was
38 cold to be standing outside on the coldest
39 in January. I didn’t know where she lived, but I was
40 I would be able to find my way back.
We
41 about our work as I drove and before we knew it, we arrived at
42 house. I started driving back.
43 looked familiar, but at first that didn’t bother me. But soon I
44 something wrong. I
45 nothing. But I told myself to stay
46 .
I was beyond neighborhoods, streets and
47 streetlights. I no longer knew where I was now. How could I be so stupid! I looked down at my
48 . It was now 2:30 a.m. My gas was slowly running out. I
49 the car and turned off the engine. In total defeat, I put my head down on the wheel,
50 . Then I raised my head and
51 a shadow down the road in front of me. I turned my headlights on. A car! I drove a little
52 , got out of my car and knocked on the window of that car. An elderly man
53 rolled his window down.
I said that I didn’t know how to get back into town. In silence, he started driving. I ran back to my car and drove
54 him. Finally I recognized a(n)
55 street. As I turned to head home, the car disappeared. Then I pulled into my driveway (车道) when the warning light for my gas tank (汽油箱) turned on.
Though so many years have passed, I still thank the old man from my deepest heart.
