完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

about two years ago while working downtown at our company’s headquarters I met a man. I’ll call him “Martin”. Martin was a short, middle-aged man with a glandular(内分泌) problem. He was fat, using a walking stick to help, and was painfully shy. Almost every morning I saw Martin on the elevator. We were usually the only people there, so I made __36 conversation as we __37_ to the 15th floor. I chatted with him about sometimes weather and sometimes about each other’s weekend.

about six months __38 our daily elevator chats, Martin came to my office and asked if I had a minute to chat. Though we worked on the same floor, I’m sure he had to __39 to find me. I invited him to sit down. He said, “I wanted to come and say __40 . The company has let me go. Today will be my last day.”

I didn’t know what to say. __41 I was too familiar with saying goodbye to co-workers, it was never __42 . Honestly, I usually avoid talking about the event because I felt __43 and at a loss for words. I told him I was __44 and asked if there was anything I could do. He said, “No, I’ll be fine, I just wanted to take the time to thank you.” I was now __45 . He explained that our daily talks had __46 a lot to him.

He thanked me not only for __47 with him in the mornings, but for speaking directly to him and others on the elevator, and for telling him a quick joke in the crowded cafeteria. It seemed that __48 had ever been his friend before—or if so they were __49 to him in public.

He said he didn’t want to __50 much of my time, as he knew I was busy and he needed to __51 his personal things. He had tears in his eyes as he shook my hand and left.

I’ve never seen him since, but I imagine he’s doing well. Meeting him __52 my life. Now when I’m in a hurry, or have a bad day, I try extra hard to speak __53 to those around me. I remind myself that it’s just as easy to say something nice as to say something __54 , and I’m awed (敬畏) at how __55 our daily actions are.
