I had just finished high school when a disaster hit our family. It was October 1962, and
21 was out of the question. So I found a job. In 1971, my employer announced only graduates(大學畢業(yè)生) would get
22 . My job seemed at a dead end unless I
23 further. And to graduate, I had to pass the higher secondary examination first.
I
24 an admission form(表格) and rode to the Human Resource(人力資源) Management office. On arriving there, I was
25 ---I couldn’t find the form. It was the last day to
26 the form, and no blank forms were
27 at the office. I was standing there, disappointed,
28 an elderly gentleman asked me why I looked so
29 . I told him what happened,
30 , “Now I’ll have to wait another year.”
“Well,” he said, “if you’re really serious about studying further, come with me. I have a
31 blank form at home.”
It was 12:30 pm. The counter(柜臺) would
32 at 2 pm. His home was 10 km away and I had a slight
33 of going somewhere with a stranger. Anyway, this was my last chance. We reached his house on my bike. He advised me to remain
34 , and gave me a pen and the form. When it was
35 , he told me to rush back and
36 carefully. I reached the office at 1:58 pm. There were two people in line, waiting for their
37 . Just then, the counter official announced that no more forms would be
38 after mine. I breathed a sigh of
39 .
I passed the exam and later got a bachelor’s degree. I also got the promotions. I
40 it all to the timely help from a true gentleman whose name I forgot to ask.
