第二节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）

I drove to a local supermarket the other day. My shopping list was 36 and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could 37 it all.

As I 38 the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle 39 . He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to 40 the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to 41 if I could. I smiled back, took the 42 and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time.

I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas, and a dozen other things. I slowly 43 each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I 44 again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food 45 list under it. I smiled and decided to trust my heart.

With the food bank in mind, I went over and 46 two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took 47 six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them, 48 my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was 49 , I had just enough to pay for it all.

An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random 53 of kindness can change another’s day and life. It is up to us, 54 . If we can 55 a few dollars on rice , then we can share a love that will last forever.

In other words, this is an attempt to control your shopping habits in a way that you might hardly be aware of.”

“Often we are told that we have the freedom to choose where we want to shop, but during Christmas the use of music in this way is so common that our freedom to choose disappears.”

Dr. Bradshaw and Prof Morris Holbrook of Columbia University examined the phenomenon and found that retailers often “dumb down” the music played in shops to relax customers, meaning it is easier
