Question

完形填空。

     I work as a postal letter carrier in Charlotte. One day several years ago I drove up to a    1  . Christy the
young divorcee (离了婚的人) who lived there was waiting by the roadside. She said that she had a    2   to
tell me.
     About six months    3   it seemed that I had    4   a letter to her which had her street    5   on it but was
addressed to another house with the    6   number on a different street in her neighborhood. She decided to
drop off the letter to the correct house.
     It turned out that the letter had been    7   for Johnson who happened to be    8  . They talked for a little
while and later on he   9  . Then they started dating (约会) and had been going   10   together ever since.
     I felt sorry for delivering the letter wrong but I was   11   that I had brought these nice people together. A
few months later a(n)   12   sign went up in Christy's yard and then the wedding   13  were sent out. Soon the
house was sold the wedding happened    14   Christy with her kids moved into Johnson's house.
     A few months later I saw a For Sale sign in   15   yard. I feared the   16    might be in trouble so I made up
a(n)    17   to go to their door and check on them.
    Christy opened the door smiled broadly and   18   to her huge stomach "We are having twins!" she said
"This house won't be big enough so we have to   19   ."
     I suddenly realized that my one   20   letter was now giving two little yet-to-be-born people a shot at life.
