On August 26 1999 New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm.The rain caused the streets to   51  and the subway system almost came to a stop.
Unfortunately this happened during the morning rush hour.Many people who were going to work were   52  to go home.Some battled to   53 a taxi or to get on a bus.Still others faced the  54 bravely walking miles to get to work.
I   55 to be one of people on the way to work that morning.I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most   56 had stopped.After making my way 57  crowds of people I finally found a subway line that was   58  .Unfortunately there were so many people waiting to   59  the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the   60  .So I took the train going in the opposite direction and then switched back to the downtown train.Finally after what seemed like forever the train   61  my stop.Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain.When I finally got to my office I was   62  through exhausted and   63 .
My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off.When it was 5∶00 pm I was ready to go home.I was about to turn off my computer   64  I received an email from Garth my Director:
I would like to thank all of you who made the effort and   65  reported to work.It is always reassuring (令人欣慰) at times like these when employees so clearly show their   66  to their jobs.Thank you.
Garth’s email was short but I learned more from that   67  message than I ever did from a textbook.The email taught me that a few words of   68 can make a big difference.The rainstorm and the traffic   69  had made me tired and upset.But Garth’s words immediately   70  me and put a smile back on my face.
