Ⅳ.完形填空
Last summer, I found a part-time job at a department store. We were encouraged to chat with customers and make their experience personal. I am a social butterfly at school, so I loved the job.
One day, a(n) 1 woman came in. I welcomed her to the store, and she immediately started up a conversation, telling me her name was Barbara and asking me about my day. I stepped out to walk with her and nodded along while she 2. We did this often, as there were many elderly customers who just needed somebody to talk to.
As we chatted, Barbara stopped to look at a shirt, "I really like the pattern. I used to wear colours like this when I was younger."
I asked, "Oh? What changed?"
Barbara chuckled (轻笑), "Well, as I started to get older, these sorts of clothes just didn't look good on me anymore. Maybe it will be 3 for you, since you're a very pretty young girl."
"Don't say that, Barbara! You're still very beautiful."
Laughing, Barbara replied, "Thank you, sweet girl, but it's all right. I'll just 4 to what I normally wear. Patterns like this are made for young people like you."
I always hate it when older people believe their 5 is ugly. Older women buy wrinkle (皱纹) correctors, dye (染) the white and silver out of their hair, and do everything they can to 6 their age until they give up and say to themselves, "I'm just old and ugly now."
I don't see things that way at all. Many women age gracefully, and Barbara aged downright beautifully. So, I 7 the topic just a little bit, "Are you sure you don't want to try it on? You might be surprised. If you don't like it, we can put it back."
Barbara hesitated (犹豫), "Well ... since we're already here ... I really don't know about these sleeves, though. They'll show my big arms!"
I suggested, "How about the dress hanging on the wall there? It has three-quarter sleeves that will cover your forearms."
She paused for a moment, "Tell you what. If you can find that dress in a larger size, I'll try it on, just to see."
When Barbara stepped out of the dressing room, I was 8. The dress fit her 9 perfectly, the colours brought out the warmth in her skin, and most importantly, she looked really, really happy in it. She didn't just like the dress; she liked herself in the dress, clearly feeling more 10. She even turned in a circle to show us how the dress flared (展开)!
Before Barbara left, she said, "Thank you for making me feel forty years younger today. I think I'll buy a sunhat to go with that dress, and my husband and I can go on a picnic. We haven't done that in a while."
Her words made my day.
