完形填空。
I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd, and my car
started to choke and then died.
I barely managed to walk into a gas station,
1 only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have
a somewhat
2 spot to wait for the tow truck (拖车). It wouldn't even turn over. Before I could make the

and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the
19 in the car who attacked it like wolves, and we
20 by
the pump eating fries and talking a little.
