【解析】

本文讲述了“我”和哥哥一起开车回家，但是路上迷路了，但是路上遇到一个车坏了的男人。“我们”帮助了他，帮他换了轮胎，他不断感谢“我们”在他如此无助的时候给予他的帮助。“我们”本来心情不是很好，但是“我们”能够看到一个帮助他人的机会，并把错误转化为正能量，而这种正能量只能来自于平静和开放的心态。

【1】句意：因为我哥哥转错了方向。

wrong错误的；different不同的；slow慢；round圆；根据下文“We took a wrong turn.”可知此处是因为我哥哥转错了方向，故选A。

【2】句意：我哥哥支付过桥费。

borrowed借进；refused拒绝；paid付钱；got得到；根据下文“the bridge toll”及“the mistake and the needless waste of $4.”可知此处是付了钱，故选C。

【3】句意：他显然对这个错误和不必要的4美元浪费很不高兴。

excited激动的；interested感兴趣的；surprised惊讶；unhappy不开心的；根据“the mistake and the needless waste of $4.”可知这个错误和不必要的4美元浪费，所以知道哥哥是不开心的，故选D。

【4】句意：当我们终于到达出口时，我的哥哥发现一个年轻人在靠边停车。

finally最后；hardly几乎不；simply仅仅；completely完全地；根据前文走错路，没地方掉头，所以只能付了过桥费继续走，所以可推测出此处是“终于到达出口”，故选A。

【5】句意：我的哥哥发现一个年轻人在靠边停车。

woman女人；man男人；girl女孩；boy男孩；根据下文“when my brother pulled over and asked the man”可知是个男人，故选B。

【6】句意：我正忙着想知道我们下一步该走哪条路时。

find out找到，发现；put out扑灭；carry out执行；break out爆发；根据“I was busy trying to ___6___ which way we would go next”可推测出是“找到下一步该走哪条路”，所以用“find out”，故选A。

【7】句意：问那个人是否需要帮助。

advice建议；help帮助；food食物；money钱；根据那个男人车坏了，所以此处是提供帮助，故选B。

【8】句意：需要一个扳手。

returned返回；sold卖；needed需要；showed展示；根据下文“My brother gave him a wrench”可知那个男人需要扳手，故选C。

【9】句意：然后开始帮他换轮胎。

make制作；change改变，更换；run跑；buy买；根据上文“He had a flat tire”可知此处是帮他换轮胎，故选B。

【10】句意：这是他倒霉的一个星期。

quiet安静；busy忙碌；funny有趣的；bad坏的；根据“earlier he got into an accident, and now the flat tire on his way home from work.”可知那个男人是倒霉的一个星期，故选D。

【11】句意：现在下班回家的路上车胎又瘪了。

turn转动；way方法；car汽车；road路；on one’s way home表示“在某人回家的路上”，故选B。

【12】句意：并不断感谢我们在他如此无助的时候给予他的帮助。

greeting问候；calling打电话；thanking感谢；suggesting建议；根据上文我们帮助了他及下文“he thanked us again”，所以他感谢我们，所以此处缺“感谢”，故选C。

【13】句意：我们完成换轮胎后。

After之后；If如果；Before在……之前；While当……时；根据“he thanked us again and tried to give $20 to us.”可知是“我们完成换轮胎后”，所以用“After”，故选A。

【14】句意：但现在我们知道为什么了。

when什么时候；where哪里；how如何；why为什么；根据后文“It was to help you.”可知是给出了理由，所以可推测出此处是“why”，故选D。

【15】句意：谢谢你把我们的错误变成了帮助别人的机会。

knocking敲门；falling摔倒；turning转变；pushing推；根据turn… into表示“把……变成”，结合“Thank you for _____15_____ our mistake into a chance to help others.”可知此处是缺“turn”，故选C。
