Question

    Each morning, I walked by a security guard (保安). He said hello to everyone that walked past him. I admired (佩服) how he knew so many people b1. their first names.

The first few times I saw him, I didn't say hello back to h2. when he greeted me. I was lost in my o3. world.

On Monday he asked, "How was your w4.?" I told him about my visit to my sick, elderly mother. He shared how he too had lost a parent to illness.

As I w5. away, I realized I did not even know his name. The f6. day, I asked, "What's your name?" He answered, "Gary." I said, "I'm Deborah." After that, we t7. a couple of times a week. We shared stories about our daily life, our dreams, and our families.

Gary got a job and m8. away. It's been years since I last spoke to him, b9. it seems like just yesterday we talked.

I look back at what became a friendship of sharing stories from the heart. When you say hello to a stranger, you become a pebble (鹅卵石) in the pool. With each ripple (连漪) you create, you spread l10. that continues to give. Make a point of saying hello to a stranger today, you will give the gift that keeps on giving.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个保安对走过他的每个人都打招呼，一开始作者并不回应他的打招呼，后来他们间的一次对话拉近了他们间的距离，他们变得无话不谈，相互聊自己的日常生活，梦想和家庭。后来保安找了新工作并离开了，和保安谈话的日子已经过去多年，但他仍记忆犹新。

1.句意：我佩服他怎么能通过他们的名字认识那么多人。

根据语境和首字母可知，这里是通过知道名字的方式认识很多人，by“通过……方式”。故填：by。

2.句意：当他给我打招呼时，我没有回答。

根据语境和首字母，可知是给他回招呼，这里是在介词后面做宾语，所以用宾格。故填：him。

3.句意：我迷失在自己的世界里。

此处应该填形容词；根据上文的当他给我打招呼时，我没有回答。是因为当时我沉浸在自己的世界里。结合首字母应该填own“自己的”。故答案为：own。

4.句意：你周末过得怎么样？

根据“On Monday he asked,”星期一他问我。可知，此处应该是问周末过得怎么样？结合首字母应该填weekend“周末”。故答案为：weekend。

5.句意：当我走开的时候，我意识到我甚至不知道他的名字。

根据语境和首字母，可知是go away“走开”，根据“I realized I did not even know his name.”可知此处是过去时态。故填：went。

6.句意：接下来一天，我问他“你叫什么名字？”。

根据“As I w______ away, I realized I did not even know his name.”和首字母，可知是following接下来的，修饰名词day。故填：following。

7.句意：我们一周谈两次。

根据“We shared stories about our daily life, our dreams, and our families.”我们分享了我们的日常生活，我们的梦想和我们的家庭故事。和首字母，可知是talk谈论，根据文章可知此处是过去时态。故填：talked。

8.句意：加里找到工作，搬走了。

根据“Gary got a job”加里找到工作。以及“It's been years since I last spoke to him,”自从我上次跟他说话已经有很多年了。可知，加里找到工作后搬走了。结合首字母提示填move。由“Gary got a job and…”。可知，此处填过去式。故答案为：moved。

9.句意：但是，好像我们昨天才谈过。

根据It's been years since I last spoke to him与it seems like just yesterday we talked之间的关系，以及首字母，可知是but“但是”，表示转折关系。故填：but。

10.句意：随着你创造的每一个涟漪，你继续传播着给予的爱。

根据“Make a point of saying hello to a stranger today, you will give the gift that keeps on giving.”今天要特别向陌生人问好，你会送上一直送下去的礼物。和首字母，可知是love，此处表示你将给予的爱持续传播开来。故填：love。
