The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 41 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.On a 42 afternoon, everything changed.Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 43 windows shut. Drivers dont exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 44 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.This woman was 45 .“Ill get the next cars 46 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, 47 much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright 48 lit up her face like a fire.“You cant 49 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired. “No, but Ill buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”Completely puzzled, I charged her as 50 , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 51 changed first angry to be out in the cold, then 52 at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his 53 .“I suppose Ill pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver 54 him. He 55 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 56 and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, 57 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window 58 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 59 their thanks.It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 60 of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.41. A. earsB. handsC. feetD. back42. A. freezingB. sunnyC. warmD. usual43. A. trucksB. vehiclesC. carsD. lorrys44.

This one had the shortest queue, there was only one guy in it, but he was in a _41_ and there seemed to be some complications going on.Well, I stamped on that little part, and we stepped in _42_him. At first, he seemed to be having _43_ getting his groceries onto the conveyor belt(输送带). But after a while, I _44_ that what he was actually doing was dividing them into two lots.Still, getting the stuff up there was no_45_ task in itself. I _46_to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under_47_. He asked Julie if she would _48_ putting his empty basket away. Then he _49_for his wallet which was in a pouch(小袋子)on one side of his chair. The way he was positioned and the fact he only had one usable_50_ made this quite a stretch for him, so I helped there.What must it be like, I _51_, to be so dependent on other people like that?The checkout operator came around and gave him his _52_ and the items he needed to have to hand. I offered to get _53_bigger bag and he said, “ No. but you could do me a favor. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to Angela.”I _54_did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, it turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go _55_! I hadnt even noticed her before.This guy, despite the limitation that his _56_condition imposed(强加于) on him, had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed. He may have been _57_ physically, but his heart was more than capable of _58_ all that. And it changed my idea of _59_ when I realized that the help he had given was _60_ the help he had received.41.
