A
(2011·西城区模拟)I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tyre. So I had to stop and get the tools to __1__ the problem. It certainly wasn't __2__ doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled __3__ from behind me. A man got out and offered to __4__ me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos (文身) on his arm, I became __5__ as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But __6__ I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the __7__. While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This __8__ me.
Then, without __9__, it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds I __10__ agreed. When I settled into the back seat, a woman's voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am,” I replied with much __11__ when seeing an old woman there. It must be his mom, I thought. To my __12__, the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you __13__ with the tyre. ” “I am grateful for his help,” I said. “Me,too!” She said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he __14__ at the church and tutored disadvantaged students. The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed the tyre. I tried to offer him money and of course he __15__ it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they __16__. As we shook hands I began to apologize for my __17__. He said, “I experience that same __18__ often. People who look like me don't do nice things. I __19__ thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a __20__. So I'll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me: If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?”
