二、完形填空。(每小题 2 分，共 20 分)
I used to give much money to the homeless around, feeling sorry for their misfortune(不幸). But later I became a single mum with no
1, a huge debt(债务) and hardly any income.
2, I stopped giving and became upset.
Several years later, things started to change. I became rich enough to have a home, and
3 with a backyard. And I started to pull myself out of debt. One day we saw a homeless person with a sign “Will work for food”. I passed him. My daughter asked why I no longer helped the people in
4. I replied, “Honey, they just use that money for wine or other bad things. ” She didn't answer. But when I said that, it didn't feel right.
Three days later, I was
5 to pick up my daughter from school. A man was standing on the corner and something deep inside
6 me to help him. So I stopped my car, and he ran over with enthusiasm(热情). He said, “God bless you. I only need 77 cents. ” I reached into my ashtray(烟灰缸) and it was strange enough that there was just 77 cents.
Greatly shocked by this coincidence(巧合), I gave him all the
7 in the ashtray. He burst out with joy and tears in his eyes, “You just made it
8 for me to see my mum for Christmas! The bus offering this great sale is
9 right away!” It was a moment that I'll never forget. I think that man won't forget it either, but I am the one getting the best
10 in my life. It also tells me that nothing is a coincidence, and everything has its meaning.
