Question

I looked up at the signs, trying to make sure which train I needed to take to Narita Airport. So I could catch the flight that would take me home to Canada. I was feeling the    of my huge pack, which contained gifts for my family. The Japanese language was    to me. You could imagine how hopeless I felt when I failed to see any symbol that      familiar. 

  Just then, a woman stopped and asked in    which way I wanted to go. She helped me    the platform number, the price and the time of departure.

  I thanked her. Having ten minutes left, she     I join her for a quick tea. She told me she was born in Japan,   spending a year backpacking in New York had let her experience the life of a woman     alone. We excitedly traded stories but soon our    chat was over. Her train was leaving. Before leaving, she hurriedly      both our drinks. “Save your money,” she said.

  I stood up and pulled the load once more onto my back.     , she reappeared with a square box    in white and red paper. She pushed the box into my     . It was warm.

  “For the train. Goodbye.” I had    these specially prepared boxed meals for sale in the stations. They looked delicious but they were    my budget.

  As I waited on the platform, my pack didn’t feel    heavy as before. Though I had been given one more     to carry, I felt light-hearted with the taste of warm food, the    of my homecoming and the generosity（慷慨）of a Japanese woman I    ran into on the way. And I never even    her name when she introduced herself.
