I am a sales representative 　 and travel all over England to visit my customers.One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am.I 36　 my car,bundled my scarf around me and 　37 up the street towards his shop front.

　　　　 The Street where his store was 38 was partially blocked by two　 large,ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete.I prepared myself for the 39 cat calls(起哄).I was up early,out in the cold,and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even 40　 .

　　　　 Then　 I stopped　 and 4l　 my　 own father. Both he and　 my grandfather　 had 　42 much　 of their early　 careers working outside　 in　　 similar　 jobs before　 they 　43　　 and　 became　 engineers.　　 I recalled how hard Dad worked,in all kinds of 　 44　 -;how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(冻伤）. I realized that if was cold then these　 two　 guys were　 probably 　 45 ，given that it looked as though they'd already been　　　　　 46　 for hours.

　　　　 My customer's　 shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 47 .I Went to　 a coffee sh、op　 around the　 comer, 　 48　 　　　　　myself a hot chocolate,then two　 more　 with whipped cream .I made my　 49　 　　　　 down the Street to wards the workmen.One of them turned to me with　 a wide smile and 　50 me　 with　 a joking　 "Oh　 lovey，you　 shouldn't have!"　 To his　　 51　 ，I passed him the　 tray with　 the　 two 　 52 　chocolates.I　 replied,"Maybe　 not. 　53 it's　 too　 cold　 to　 be　 working　 outside today。"　　　　

　　　 I got two　 looks　 of genuine　 (真诚的） 54　 ，and　 a　 timely　 reminder　 that it's as easy to be 　55 　as it is to pre-judge—but the former is so much nicer!
