Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson that little things still mean a lot. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I started my car and I 1 down at the roadside, a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and 2 it carefully.
The form turned out to be a 3 from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ 4 of their vehicle’s registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their 5 and figured：no one would throw this out, 6 if it was current.
Although the form had been blown here, where in the busy, 7 parking lot would I find the owner? So I checked the date and noted the name of the 8 , who must be in our town. I thought that the best and easiest step to 9 was to put the form in an envelope addressed to the couple and 10 it by post. So I did it.
On the weekend, a 11 couple called at my house and brought me a big 12 . They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt(收据) 13 everywhere before giving up. Without it they would 14 $8, 000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone 15 a major trouble by doing something which at first glance seemed minor.

【小题12】 C名词辨析A.surprise惊奇,惊讶B. form组成,结构C.gift 礼物, 赠品 D. joy欢乐, 高兴 由句意可知：夫妇带去的肯定不是惊喜，因为结合上文的描述，夫妇是特此过来感谢作者的，通常感谢一个人会带一份礼物以表谢意，所以礼物更符合情景和语境的意义。
