14．I was walking in my school campus from my office to my car at about 9p．m．On the way，I ran into a （36）Bwho was obviously lost．He asked me for（37）B，saying he needed to get to East Palo Alto．But the （38）Awas that he was walking the complete opposite direction!
I （39）Chim in the correct direction，but warned him it was a long way off．He didn't speak English very well，and generally seemed without （40）Bof direction．I quickly felt like helping him．（41）Ahe was a big guy，I got the impression that he was（42）A．
I sent him on his way，and I walked away towards my car．Just as he was going out of a short way，something in me clicked，and I offered him a（43）D．He gratefully accepted，and he （44）Bto show me his ID．I declined，but（45）Dmy hand and introduced myself．He said his name was Mario．
Mario followed me to my car．When I unlocked the passenger door for him，he didn't get in（46）CI assured him it was fine．As we sat in the car together，I suddenly got （47）A．"If this guy wanted，he could hurt me and take my car"，I （48）Ccalling my brother as a safety precaution （預防措施），but then I felt determined not to feel scared．
Mario and I got into some （49）B．He told me about his family in Mexico，how he works（50）Cdoesn't ever earn enough，how he （51）Blive near Fresno and work on the farms but now earns more in the Bay Area．It was good talking to him，though I couldn't shake the nervousness completely．I （52）Basking him questions that would give me clues as to whether he was being truthful．
When we got into East Palo Alto，I pulled into a gas station and told him it was as （53）Bas I could take him．He quickly got out and （54）Dme several times，saying he could find his way home from there．
Thinking back on it，I am glad to give a ride to Mario．Although it was （55）C，I think such things should be done without fear，or not at all．I wouldn't say I'd pick up a hitchhiker（搭車人）again，but I know that if I did，I would make sure I could offer more love and less fear．

13．Not long ago my daughter's favorite shoes were cut with a knife．She cried．I took them to the shoemaker to get them（36）A．The young apprentice （學徒） （37）Bat the cuts quickly and said，"I can do （38）Cexcept replace the uppers．"The master looked at them and said，"（39）Byou trust me，I will add more cuts to both of the shoes．"I was （40）Cand asked why．He （41）B，"As if the cuts were made on purpose for special style．"I didn't fully understand him，（42）BI decided to leave the shoes．
