Question

One    56   (rain) night I was driving along a lonely highway   57   I saw a man walking rapidly ahead of me along the side of the road. It was pouring rain and I slowed down to avoid   58   (splash) him as I went by.

He misunderstood    59   (think) I was offering a ride and ran towards my car. He was very tall had a full beard and he scared me. I stepped on the gas pedal to leave   60     (quick) and I saw the look of total despair in his eyes.

   Suddenly all fear was   61    (go) and I backed up and unlocked my car door praying this was not the   62   (big) mistake in my life but somehow knowing it would be okay.

   The man was a plumber （水暖工人）    63   truck had got stuck in the mud. He   64     (walk) for miles. No one would pick him up and his wife was in the hospital in labour （分娩） with their first child!

   He had cried at the thought that he might not be there.

We    65   (arrive) at the hospital moments before his son was born.
