One hot summer afternoon, I was 2 down the highway to New York when another car suddenly 3 into my lane(车道). My car was in the far right lane，so it ran onto the roadside. As a(n) 4 driver，I moved my car quickly and skillfully back onto the highway without causing any accident.
I was 5 with that driver，but I thought that he just did not pay attention to（注意） the lane change, and he 6 did not do that on purpose(故意).The car ran away 7 after cutting me off. Very soon it disappeared from sight. After a while，I came around a curve(弯道) and found the 8 car. The driver was walking along the roadside. He was an elderly man and looked 9 . As there was no telephone nearby and the nearest services were twenty miles away, I decided to 10 and see what the problem was.
The man’s car had a flat tire(瘪胎). Although he had another tire，he had nothing to work with. I decided to 11 him. I changed the tire for him and allowed him to sit in my air-conditioned car while I did it. Fifteen minutes later，I 12 the work.
