Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple（夫妇）who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car, I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays wonderful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery（电池） was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and told them my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck (小货车) to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
"Thank you" - two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.
【小题1】 The writer planned to stop at Oklahoma City ______.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really　 16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could　 17　 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 　18　 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my　 19　 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.

After my family moved back to Singapore, I 　 20　 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21　 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we　 22　 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going　 23　 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 　 24　 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 　 25　 sign.

We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,　 26　 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write　 27　 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.

Three weeks later, I arrived home and　 28　 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.

That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had　 29 the post office all these years. Today I　 30　 send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.
