完形填空。
I work as a postal letter carrier in Charlotte. One day several years ago, I drove up to a
1 . Christy, the
young divorcee (离了婚的人)who lived there, was waiting by the roadside. She said that she had a
2 to
tell me.
About six months
3 it seemed that I had
4 a letter to her which had her street
5 on it but was
addressed to another house with the
6 number on a different street in her neighborhood. She decided to
drop off the letter to the correct house.
It turned out that the letter had been
7 for Johnson, who happened to be
8 . They talked for a little
while and later on he
9 . Then they started dating (约会) and had been going
10 together ever since.
I felt sorry for delivering the letter wrong, but I was
11 that I had brought these nice people together.
A few months later a(n)
12 sign went up in Christy`s yard. and then the wedding
13 were sent out.
Soon the house was sold,the wedding happened,
14 Christy, with her kids, moved into Johnson`s house.
A few months later, I saw a For Sale sign in
15 yard. I feared the
16 might be trouble, so I made up a(n)
17 to go to their door and check on them.
Christy opened the door,smiled broadly, and
18 to her huge stomach "We are having twins!" she said,
"This house won`t be big enough, so we have to
19 ."
I suddenly realized that my one
20 letter was now giving two little yet-to-be-born people a shot at life.
