一、完形填空
(2025无锡澄西期中)My neighbour is a doctor. He and his wife are some of the nicest people I have ever met. A few years ago, we started this kind of "favour善行 war" where one of us would do something kind for the other, such as the driveway道路 or building a shed棚子, and next time the other would to do more favour.
Yesterday morning there was about 2 or 3 feet of snow on the ground and I remembered he shoveled铲 my driveway for me when I was out on a business trip last . So I took out my shovel and took care of both our sidewalks and driveways because it was my turn to do a favour . It took a while but I finished it and got into my car for work.
That night I got a on my door, and it was my neighbour. He immediately shook my hand and thanked me for shoveling his driveway and sidewalk, so that he was able to get to work earlier and saved a boy.
"As soon as I started the car early this morning, a(n) came through that a young boy in our neighbourhood was seriously ill. , my partner and I were only about 2 minutes away, but the closest ambulance救护车 10 minutes," added he. "A young boy got to live his life you did me the favour earlier this morning."
It wasn't much too to shovel a driveway, but what I did got a young boy to see his family again, go back to school again and live his life again.
No favour is too . Even the smallest favour can make the biggest difference.
