Question

I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout(付款台) earlier today.All of the checkouts were1, and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a(n)2! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts3; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she4scan her own shopping.
I listened to her5looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带).I didn’t want6to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go7of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!
But then I8back.Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl,9her granddaughter.The girl’s part of the shopping10of some comic books.
I couldn’t11it.I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt,12a space.“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and13them to a big14.The woman was delighted, and even15to complain ---- until she was walking away.
So,16bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge(海绵).She was learning how to17situations like that by listening to her granny.I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some18into the middle of it.
We can all complain; we can all react19, but it doesn’t have to be like that.And, even if only for a few20, I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way.
