Below are some of the heart-warming scenes that I witnessed and heard from others after the earthquake and flood.

In the supermarket, where goods of all the shelves  36 , people were picking up things so quickly together, and then  37  standing in line to buy food. Instead of creating panic（恐慌）and _38  as much as possible, they bought as little as they  39 _.

When I was walking home, there was a lady  40  a sign that said, “Please use our toilet.” She was  41  her house for people to go to the restroom. I also saw an old lady at a bakery shop  42  free bread. They made my heart  43 _.

A boy was saved because he climbed up on top of the roof of a store during the flood. The flood  44  so suddenly that he just saw people below trying to climb onto the roof, but failed. They were  45  by the flood. To help others, he kept filming them  46  their loved ones could see.

A foreign friend told me that she was  47  to see a long queue form so neatly（整齐地）behind one public phone. Everyone waited  48  to use the phone though they must have been so eager to call their families.

The  49  was horrible（可怕的）! Only one car could move  50  at a green light. But everyone was driving so calmly. During the 10-hour  51 , which would only take 30 minutes  52 , I heard only one horn（喇叭）and that was of thank you.

When I was  53  at the platform（站台）, a homeless person gave me a piece of cardboard to sit on. Even though we usually  54  them in our daily life, they were ready to help us.

Through all of this, I felt  55 _. There is a bright future, on the other side of this disaster.
