完形填空。      "Excuse me," said the young man, standing shyly at the open church door. "I"m here to    1   an Easter
basket for my daughter. Am I in the    2   place?" "Well, we have baskets,    3   they"re not East baskets for
kids; they"re food baskets," I explained.
     That morning I had arrived at St. Michael"s Church in Carmichael, California, to help    4   the baskets
to needy families for Easter. To make sure the needy would    5   the offer, we had handed out numbers
to them    6   matched the basket they were supposed to receive. Each one contained a full Easter dinner-a
whole ham, potatoes, bread, vegetables and a pie- enough food to help    7   a family for a week.
     "Why don"t you come in?" I said to the man. He looked    8  . He    9   his head, "I can"t. My daughter is
waiting for me over there. I"m   10  for the food, but   11  I heard you were giving away baskets for Easter,
well, I thought they would be Easter baskets for   12 ." He continued, "I   13  my daughter one, and I wanted
to surprise her."

A bulge (凸出) in one of the baskets caught my   16 . What was that? I wondered. Leaning over and looking
more   17 , I could see, unmistakably, an Easter basket-filled with candy, chocolate and Easter eggs-decorated
with ribbons (丝带). One of the   18  must have added it by mistake! I thought. Then I looked at the man"s
number in my   19 . Well, he"ll be...
     "Happy Easter," I said to the man, handing him the only food basket with an Easter basket inside-the very
same basket with his number on it. "Someone already knew just   20  you need."
