Question

One sunny Monday, I decided to go for a walk on the path near my house with my husband. On my finger was a very special ring: I’d just picked it up from jeweller’s the day before because I had it ______ to hold a diamond my grandmother gave me for my 23rd birthday. I looked down at my ring as I began my walk, feeling as ______ as the day.

Imagine my sadness when I looked again at the end of the path and found the diamond was ______. Anxiously (焦急地), I started back along the path, looking for the _____ stone. In my heart, I knew how hopeless it was. The path was long and covered with leaves. As I _____ the ground, crying and upset, I met an old gentleman. “What’s the matter, love?” he asked ______. “Lost something?” I explained about the missing diamond and showed him the hole _____ my ring. He whistled. “That’s going to be hard to find. Tell you what, love, I walk along this path every day. I’ll keep my eyes open ______ it.” I thanked him, ____ nothing, but told him my husband often walked our dogs along the path ______ he ever found something.

A few days later, my husband met the old man on the path. “ Guess what?” he said, “I found your diamond!” ______ he’d found the tiny stone and was willing to hand the diamond back to my husband, saying casually (漫不經(jīng)心地), “It was lucky that I found it. I only have 50 percent eyesight in one eye. ” When my husband offered him money for his help, he refused it. He could have easily ______ the diamond, or sold it, as it’s worth several thousand dollars. But,_______ this man, I’ll spend the rest of my days trying to do something like that for ______person. And what I have to do is to look at my ring and _____ myself that there are kind and generous souls there.
