二、阅读理解
In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney, Australia.I was looking forward to having five days off from duty.Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left.So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me.Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch.He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry.I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (向……保证)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring (耀眼的) heat, trying to hitch a ride.I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up.I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me,“You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”
I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago.It was Gordon.
