My wife and I are from France. Recently we were faced with a 1 situation while traveling by car in the Alps with our hired (雇佣的) driver. It was going to be a long ride, and we were 2. Just as we began to doze (打盹), the engine (发动机) began to make a strange, loud noise and then 3 working.
The sun was setting. We tried communicating with the driver, but with little 4. He made some signs, suggesting he was going to 5 help, and then left.
It was getting colder and darker. We started to hear the cries of wild animals. My wife was 6. We didn't have much food. I began to lose confidence (信心). Should we 7 the car and start walking? Would our driver ever return? Could we 8 him? We were very 9.
Two hours passed. Suddenly, the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A man got out of the car. He didn't look 10 at first, until his mouth opened with a big smile. He said that he would 11 us. He had such a kind face, and we knew we could 12 him. We got into his car.
Before we left, he 13 a note on the windscreen of our car with his phone number on it. Then he drove us to a nearby village, and we 14 his family. His cousin spoke basic French and offered us tea and local foods. Everyone asked us questions and were 15 to have unexpected guests.
Later that evening, the phone rang. It was our 16. He had kept his 17 and repaired the car. We prepared to leave and 18 our new friends. I couldn't believe the 19 from the cousin："No, we thank you for coming into our home."
I will never forget the 20 we received on that day.
