二、完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分)
It began a year ago，around New Year Eve. Every time I drove down our street，I 11 an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking，and looking very unhappy.
One day, while I was driving past him with my 12 , I decided to wave(挥手) at him with a lot of excitement. 13 , when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.
" 14 did you wave at him?" my daughter asked. I told her it's just an act of kindness that 15 nothing. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave at a 16 , but next time she would try it as well.
We lived close to the old man， 17 we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and，pretty soon，the old man started 18 at everyone who passed by his house. One time，my daughter's friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very 19 . She mentioned that she waved back，although she didn't know 20 , and it felt really good. As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the 21 of how all the waving began. Her friend answered，"Tell your mum that it is really cool!" Her other friends had similar 22 .
This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and 23 , if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to both the 24 and the receiver(接收者).
Moved by the old man's actions，we're planning to give our waving neighbour a card to show our 25 for his exciting waves. We are really thankful for his sharing his simple joy with all who pass by his house.
