The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 36 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.On a 37 afternoon, everything changed.Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 38 windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 39 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 40 .“I’ll get the next car’s 41 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, 42 much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright43 lit up her face like a fire.“You can’t 44 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired. “No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”Completely puzzled, I charged her as 45 , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 46 changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then 47 at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his48 .“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatientdriver 49 him. He 50 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 51 and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, 52 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 53 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 54 their thanks.It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 55 of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days. 36. A. earsB. handsC. feetD. back37. A. freezingB. sunnyC. warmD. usual38. A. truck’sB. vehicle’sC. car’sD. lorry’s39.

I have been a long time Supermarket shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermarket, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place. Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Anothe r example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors. I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive. Yours truly, Bob Watson - 3 -56.
