Question

I arrived late one night, on a business trip, and had dinner in a restaurant. As I was finishing my meal, an old couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had         smiles on their faces. Shortly after I ended a 20-year            , I still had pain in my heart and I was        at the love they show for one another. As a result, when I paid my bill I gave the waiter another $50 to pay the couple’s bill and then left without      them.

The next day my business meeting      two hours before the flight back to Houston. So I had enough time left to enter the restaurant to dine     . After I had been    , the waiter, from the night before, came up to my table    . She can’t wait to tell me what happened after I     last night: when the old couple were        that another guest had paid for them, they asked whom it was. The waiter said that she had never     me before, and told them what I told her, “I just wanted to repay     for the true love that they were showing.” Feeling surprised , they    , and paid the bills for another two young couples saying “Love begets (产生) love”. I      with delight and said “ That’s nice”. Then I read the menu and       my meal.

When my dinner was       and I intended to pay, my waiter was    to be found. I had to walk over to the Hostess Stand and      that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the    .
