I finished my last work of the week and could hardly wait to get home, take off my nursing shoes, and relax.
As I _ _ my car, I saw one of my _ _ standing by the bus stop. I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a ride home, and _ _, it was too cold to be standing outside on the coldest _ _ in January. I didn’t know where she lived, but I was _ _ I would be able to find my way back.
We _ _ about our work as I drove and _ _ we knew it, we arrived at her house. I started driving back. _ _ looked familiar, but at first that didn’t _ _ me. But soon I _ _ something wrong. I recognized nothing. But I told myself to stay _ _.
I was _ _ neighborhoods, streets and even streetlights. I no longer knew where I was now. How could I be so stupid! I looked down at my _ _. It was now 2:30 a.m. My gas was slowly running out. I _ _ the car and turned off the engine. In total defeat, I put my head down on the wheel, _ _. Then I raised my head and saw a(n) _ _ down the road in front of me. I turned my headlights on. A car! I drove a little _ _, got out of my car and knocked on the window of that car. An elderly man _ _ rolled his window down.
I said that I didn’t know how to get back into town. In silence, he started driving. I ran back to my car and drove behind him. Finally I _ _ a familiar street. As I turned to head home, the car disappeared. Then I _ _ my driveway (车道) when the warning light for my gas tank (汽油箱) turned on.
Though so many years have passed, I still thank the old man from my deepest heart.
