I had just finished high school when a disaster hit our family. It was October 1962, and    21   was out of the question. So I found a job. In 1971, my employer announced only graduates(大学毕业生) would get   22  . My job seemed at a dead end unless I    23    further. And to graduate, I had to pass the higher secondary examination first.
I    24   an admission form(表格) and rode to the Human Resource(人力资源) Management office. On arriving there, I was    25   ---I couldn’t find the form. It was the last day to    26   the form, and no blank forms were   27   at the office. I was standing there, disappointed,    28   an elderly gentleman asked me why I looked so    29  . I told him what happened,    30  , “Now I’ll have to wait another year.”
“Well,” he said, “if you’re really serious about studying further, come with me. I have a    31   blank form at home.”
It was 12:30 pm. The counter(柜台) would    32   at 2 pm. His home was 10 km away and I had a slight   33 of going somewhere with a stranger. Anyway, this was my last chance. We reached his house on my bike. He advised me to remain    34  , and gave me a pen and the form. When it was    35  , he told me to rush back and     36   carefully. I reached the office at 1:58 pm. There were two people in line, waiting for their   37   . Just then, the counter official announced that no more forms would be    38   after mine. I breathed a sigh of    39   .
I passed the exam and later got a bachelor’s degree. I also got the promotions. I     40   it all to the timely help from a true gentleman whose name I forgot to ask.
