完形填空。      A mother and daughter living in my community are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever come
across in my life. They are totally   1 , mixing with nobody. As they drive past neighbors they keep their
eyes looking away and make no sign of   2  . The only fame they have is making a nuisance (讨厌的人) of
themselves to the local police station by   3    music played too loud, dogs barking more than once a day
and any other petty (琐碎的) little   4  .
     On moving into this neighborhood, I was   5  of these two but decided I would make up my own mind.
This proved quite a   6   to me as more than once either the mother or the daughter would knock on my
door and blast (猛烈抨击) me with some   7   or other. I   8  answered politely and made sure I   9 as they
went past my place and also made the effort now and then to make a kind 10 about their garden or pets.
     Time passed and in October, as part of the Kindness Rock Give, Maureen and I decided to place a
kindness rock in their garden. Their   11   remained unchanged, however, and I continued to be as friendly
as possible. During the Easter give, we decided once again to   12  these two unhappy ladies to our list and
 13 a packet of cookies on their gate. Imagine my   14  when two days later they    15 at my gate and
jokingly said they were   16  hanging their Christmas stocking on their gate, and they brought me a bunch of
flowers!
     So, my fellow gifters, do not 17 on your random gifts of kindness. You may never know just what this
  18  to others, nor how many broken or  19  hearted people you may just change   20 a simple act of
kindness.
