　 I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout (付款台) earlier today. All of the checkouts were 　　36　 , and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a (n) 　　37　 ! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts 　　　38　　 ; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she 　　39　 　scan her own shopping.

　　 I listened to her 　　40　 looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带). I didn’t want 　41　 to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go 　　42　 　of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!

But then I 　43　 back. Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl, 　　44　 　her granddaughter. The girl’s part of the shopping 　45　 of some comic books.

I couldn’t 　46　 it. I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt, 　　47　 　a space. “After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and 　48　 　them to a big 　49　 　. The woman was delighted, and even 　50　 　to complain ---- until she was walking away.

So,　 　51　 　bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge (海绵). She was learning how to 　　52　 　situations like that by listening to her granny. I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some 　53　 　into the middle of it.

We can all complain; we can all react 　54　 　, but it doesn’t have to be like that. And, even if only for a few 　　55　 　, I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way.
