Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I
36 my car and was about to drive off, I
37 at the roadside. A piece of paper
38 my eye. I picked it up and read it
39 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.
The form turned
out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’
40 of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and __
41 : no one would throw this away, especially
42 it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal
43 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed __
44 . The form had been blown by the wind, so
45 would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and
46 the names of the owners , who must
47 in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a（n）
48 addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong
49 , how frantic（慌乱的）I’d be. But it was much
__50_ to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upset , etc. over the
51 , so I did as I thought. My hunch（预感） was right. On the weekend, a happy couple
52 my house and brought
me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and
53 the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to
54 another 8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing
55 that at first glance seemed minor.
