Old George selected(挑选) his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was ____________ to think that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the cold wind made him ____________ his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants _____________ could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a(an) ____________ price, for just $35, years ago. They were ____________ and very comfortable. He had taken great care looking ____________them, so they were in good condition.
George, calm on the outside but mad on the inside, re-entered the _____________. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be in vain (徒劳). His ___________ were gone. “People have changed,” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more!”
He stared at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like ____________. On his way to the dairy section, he _____________ a lady wearing a pair of black gloves. He sped up and in three seconds was in front of her. But ____________ the surprised woman looked over, his eyes dropped, for her gloves were just far too small to be his. He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out _____________ the street.
A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. _____________ getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again.

She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of ___________ leather gloves. “Are they?”
“Yes! Those are mine,” George exclaimed, his eyes full of joy.
