完形填空。      I was with my oldest son and we were on the lookout for an open parking space in our jam-packed shopping
center. We spotted a(n)    1   one in the next row of spaces, and I drove our van around the turn, all the while
hoping no one else would spot it and grab it    2   I could. And, as luck would have it, a lady was    3   her
shopping cart right in front of us, and it looked like    4   was getting away from her-filled with bags and cartons
of soda. She herself was carrying three extra bags in her hands while trying to push the cart    5   a strong spring
wind, and looked    6  . Suddenly the cart hit a bump and everything fell off.
     At that point I felt something snap in me. I pulled the van into an unloading    7   and told my son to wait for
a moment. I rushed over to her and the    8   thing she did was to apologize several times. I helped her    9   
everything up, took the extra bags   10  from her hands, and walked her to her car. She told me she was trying
to   11  home to her son"s thirteenth birthday party. I helped her load the   12  and she stopped and looked at me
and just said, "Thank you so much". I smiled and said, "I am a mother of three and do you think   13  has ever
helped me out? I am just returning the   14 ." She smiled and said, "God bless you" and got in her car.
     I walked the row over to my van   15  my son was waiting and had been   16 . "Who was that, Mom?" he
asked me. "She was a   17  too, trying to get home for her son"s birthday party. She needed our help," I said.
And I just knew he   18  with that clarity children all seem to have.
     We found a good   19  and walked together towards the store. As we were walking, my son took my hand.
It was the most touching   20  of all, and I realized more than ever that our children are always watching.
