The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from

题目内容：

The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a Ford Car for a 36present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles. One Sunday night, thinking myself a very 37gown-up, I 38my uncle’s place in South Laguna after a visit, 39 admitting to him that I had less than an eighth of a tank of gas and no 40to buy more on the way to L.A. I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the 41move down as I headed north. When the engine started giving off strong smells, I 42 into a gas station. There was no self-serve then; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.

I 43 the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, I said, or I could 44in my car and try to walk to a town with a 45 the next morning. As he was informing me that I could sleep in my car but he’d have me arrested, a station wagon pulled up to the next46. The driver—a thin, plain, middle-aged guy—overheard the tail end of my 47 request. As the attendant went to 48him, he nodded at me. “ 49 her tank first,” he said.

“Really?” I said. 50 bloomed. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two51 worth. I just need to get home.”

“Fill it,” he 52to the attendant. Then he turned to me, “You’ll do the same one day, for someone else.”

I keep looking for someone unlucky, hoping to save her 53 on the road. Meanwhile, in case she never shows up, I try for other acts of 54 kindness. That quiet driver is always at the pump a few feet away, instructing the attendant to fill mine 55.
