Eighteen months ago, when my cellphone rang, you were walking into Whole Foods (21)　　 to do your grocery shopping, just as I had been only minutes before you.

But I know this to be true: Because you 　  (40)  　 out to help, you offered a ray of light in the most 　  (41)  　 moment I've ever experienced. I will never, ever forget you.  21.  A. bound B. willing C. prepared D. determined 22.  A. abandoned B. recovered C. pushed D. filled 23.  A. shop B. line C. queue D. lane 24.  A. cost B. given C. saved D. taken 25.  A. hurt B. twisted C. trembled D. fell 26.  A. umbrella B. control C. protection D. weight 27.  A. ignoring B. stopping C. wiping D. comforting 28.  A. passion B. dilemma C. separation D. display 29.  A. at B. to C. through D. on 30.  A. messages B. contacts C. photos D. records 31.  A. gues
