In 1971, a young man who grew up very poor was travelling across the country, trying to make a new     36     for himself. Along the way, he had     37     run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This    38    until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked    39    into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his first good meal in    40  , he found himself    41  to the waiter, telling him he had lost his    42 . The waiter, who was also the owner, walked    43   the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down,   44    a $20 bill that looked    45  it had fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have    46  this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his    47  ! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a    48 , bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of town, he began to understand    49  the fellow did. Maybe nobody dropped the money    50  . “Maybe that fellow just knew I was    51  and he helped me in a way that didn’t     52     me.” Right then he made a promise to help others if he could.
Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he    53   thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa” because at   54  time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the streets and at hospitals. “I’ve lived the story, so I know it certainly more blessed（带来快乐的） to give than to     55    , because it es back to you many many times over,” he says. “It restores some faith in humanity.”
