I 55 to be one of people on the way to work that morning.I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most 56 had stopped.After making my way 57 crowds of people,I finally found a subway line that was 58 .Unfortunately,there were so many people waiting to 59 the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the 60 .So I took the train going in the opposite direction,and then switched back to the downtown train.Finally,after what seemed like forever,the train 61 my stop.Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain.When I finally got to my office,I was 62 through,exhausted and 63 .

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the __36__ side is as much interesting. It may be a d iscussion of the way to __37__ in good health, or __38__ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m. 16 my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel. 17 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason, 18 , I went ahead and answered.

He said his name was Mason and that he was the 22 at the Best Western Hotel. The 23 was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t 24 any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n) 25 guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was 26 because my grandfather seemed to be 27 . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and 28 100 miles from home.

(The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all 33 him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of 34 that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who 35 .
