Like most July days, it was hot. I   1   into a coffee shop to drink a cup of black coffee. It was a   2   store with little round tables and chairs.
　　As I entered, I found a very old woman bent   3   a table near the door. Her back was so   4   twisted(扭弯)by some sadness that her face nearly   5   the table-top. I sat down facing her two   6   away.
　　"Poor woman, "I thought. "What does she   7   life? Why does God let people live so   8   past their prime(鼎盛时期)?"
　　As I thought, 9   aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about   10  . They talked of how little the shop had   11   in 70 years…In minutes the two of them were12   with laughter.
　　I looked again at the 13   woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall,14   a picture of myself.I was wearing a dirty shirt. She was   15   dressed in white, gold rings on her fingers.
　　I was in   16   spirits. She was laughing, smiling. I was putting the 17   of my life together. She had millions of wonderful  18   to recall(回忆)．She was  19   the day with a good friend. I was 20   worried about getting old. She was old but it wasn't   21   her. As I left the shop, I   22   my foolish questions about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more   23   , more sensitive(敏感的)than I was.   24   has not bent her spirit. But I am always filling my mind with something 25  .
