My dad is a patient, loving and giving person but his kind spirit that really touched me was one night as we were driving home after visiting my grandmother.
Pulling up at a small crossing, we saw a car stopped in the m56. of the road. An older lady was talking on her phone and staring up at a street sign, clearly trying to work out where she was. She came back to her car, looking more u57.. Dad watched her out of his rear-view (后视) mirror before pulling over to see if he could help. As he stood at her window and asked if she was OK, she broke down in tears, explaining she had lost her way.
It turned out she was a caregiver (照料者) and was t58. to find the house of the client she was meant to be helping that night. When she showed Dad the address she was meant to be at. Dad handed her his b59. card and told her to follow him, and to call him on the number on the card if she lost us in t60. .
My dad drove to the address, only a suburb or two out of our way, and found the house for her. The look of thankfulness on her face was reward enough for Dad.
The next morning as Dad was driving me to school his phone rang. It was the lady he'd helped the night b61. calling him to thank him again for his kind deed. 1 don't think Eve ever been so p62. to be his daughter.

56.句意:我们在一个小十字路口停车,看见一辆汽车停在路中间。
考查名词。此处有定冠词the,故可知此处填写名词。根据前半句“Pulling up at a small crossing,” 在一个小十字路口停下,表示伊芙他们所在的位置是在马路的中间,可以推断,那位女士的汽车也是停在马路的中间。middle名词,中间,中部,in the middle of 表示“在……中间”。故填middle。
57.句意:她回到车里,看起来更沮丧了。
考察形容词。此处有现在分词looking,表示“看上去”,后接形容词。根据“she broke down in tears, explaining she had lost her way.”她哭了起来,解释说她迷了路。可知老妇人应该是因为迷路而感到很难过。upset形容词,难过的,心烦的,前有more表示比较级,此处填upset原形。故填upset。
58.句意:事实证明她是一个照料者,并且在那天晚上正在试图找到她要帮助的客户的房子。
考查现在分词或者过去分词。此处有并列连词and,可知此处填写与前半句谓语动词turned并列的谓语动词。此处有be动词was,后接现在分词,表示过去进行时;也可以接过去分词,表示一般过去时的被动语态。根据“When she showed Dad the address she was meant to be at.”当她给爸爸看她应该在的地址时……,可知老妇人正在试图寻找她要去的房子;或者老妇人被告知要去指定的房子。try动词,试图,尝试,现在分词形式为trying;tell动词,告诉,过去分词为told。故填trying/told。
59.句意:爸爸递给她他的名片,告诉她跟他走,如果她在路上迷了路,就按名片上的号码给他打电话。
考查名词。此处有形容词性物主代词his,空格后有card,可知此处可以填写形容词或者名词,作定语修饰card;“…and to call him on the number on the card…”并按卡片上的号码给他打电话。可知爸爸交给老妇人的卡片上有电话号码,推测此处应该指名片。business名词,商业,business card名片。故填business。
60.句意:……如果她在路上迷了路,就按名片上的号码给他打电话。

61.句意:是他前一天晚上帮助过的那位女士打来的电话,再次感谢他的善举。
考查副词。根据“It was the lady he'd helped the night…”是他那晚帮助过的那位女士……,可知本句中主要成分都齐全,故可以填写副词。根据文意,老妇人打电话是在第二天,故此处可以填写表示“过去”的含义。before副词,过去,以前。故填before。
62.句意:我想伊芙从来没有像现在这样以作为他的女儿为荣。
考查形容词。根据此处be动词been以及副词so可知此处填写形容词。根据前文文意,父亲帮助老妇人找到了地方,后来老妇人专门打电话对父亲表示感谢,因此伊芙为父亲感到自豪。proud形容词,自豪的,be proud to do sth做某事很自豪。故填proud。
