All Things Are Possible
When I settled in Chicago, my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. Then I had a
1
(physics) problem and had to go to hospital for a thorough examination.
It seemed a small challenge compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go wrong right from the
2
(begin). Not having a car or
3
(know) the city, I was de- pending on a couple of buses to get me from A to B. Although I"d left myself plenty of time, soon it was obvious I was going to be late, as I had
4
(mistake) boarded a bus that was taking me in the opposite direction.
I
5
(get) off the bus and stood on the pavement not knowing what to do. I looked into the eyes of a
6
(strange), who was trying to get past me.
7
(surprise), instead of moving on, she stopped to ask if I was OK. After I explained my situation to her, she pointed to a bus stop across the street, where a bus would take me back into the city to my appointment. Sitting there waiting, I felt
8
(grate) that someone had been willing to help. Then, hearing a horn (喇叭) nearby, I looked up to see a car with my new friend
9
(wave) at me to get in. She had returned to offer me a lift to the hospital.
Such unexpected
10
(kind) from a passer-by was a lovely gift to receive. As I climbed out of the car at the hospital and turned to thank her, she smiled and told me not to lose faith, for all things are possible.
