问题补充：
Many years ago I drove a taxi for extra money. I drove mainly from the downtown to the 16, beside the Greenwood Racetrack which was in operation at that time.
Each time a taxi drove up to the station, many kids would run along the 17to the passenger door. One 18kid would open the passenger door and say, “ 19, sir.” The passenger would always say thanks and give the kid a 20on his way from the taxi to the entrance of the track. It was a routine that everybody knew.
One day I noticed a boy, who was 21than most of them but was pushed away by even the smallest kid. He never pushed back. 22, he would even step aside when others pushed forward. But he never 23.
Then one morning as I was 24to the sidewalk, all the other kids were running after a taxi 25mine. They didn’t notice mine.
The boy saw me and walked toward my taxi. As I pulled up I made sure that I stopped in a 26with the passenger door right beside him. He 27the passenger door with a flourish(夸张动作) and said, “Good luck at the track, sir.”
28, the man did not tip him a quarter. Instead he 29, “Get out of my way!” He pushed him aside so 30that the boy fell on the sidewalk and I knew he was badly hurt. I got out of my car quickly 31find that the man disappeared in the crowd.
So I looked for the kid. I decided to give him $20 for all his 32. But he was far up ahead, walking out of the station 33. The traffic policeman waved at me to get my car going. 34, I never saw him again. I’d like to find him one day and tell him that if only he had stuck around a little longer I would have given him a whole $20.
I learned an important lesson from the boy. When things seem so 35that you are ready to give up, that is the time when things are most likely to turn around for you.
