Afterwards, there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man in need of some attention. I only wish I had a photo __8__ (take) to record the smiles on both of their faces.
As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered __9__ the young man didn't just perform this act of kindness __10__ (he). I suspect that it is because in his heart he hoped that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this old man, too.
答案与解析
本文讲述的是作者在一间咖啡店的经历，及对传递善行的思考。
1．who/that 使用定语从句。先行词是an old man，指人，定语从句中缺少主语。故填who/that。
2．to be served wait后应跟不定式作宾语，且serve与I之间为被动关系。故填to be served。
3．as as well as为介词短语，意为“除……之外，还有……”。故填as。
4．puzzled 修饰名词waitress用形容词，修饰人用过去分词形式的形容词“迷惑的”，故填puzzled。
5．completely 修饰非谓语动词understanding时应用副词。故填completely。
6．the 此处为特指上文的“老人”，用定冠词。故填the。
7．would give 根据语境可知，她将把他点的东西送给那位老人，故用将来时态，且主句用过去时态，故用过去将来时态。故填would give。
8．taken 使用“have＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，photo与take之间为被动关系。用过去分词。故填taken。
9．why 句意：我想知道为什么这个年轻人不亲自做善事。从句中不缺主语和宾语，但
缺少语义“为什么”。故填why 。
10．himself 句意：我想知道为什么这个年轻人不亲自做善事。可知用反身代词。故
填himself 。
