36,and when the buyer asked to see the goods,they brought out a small duffel bag and un-zipped it. Inside was a 37 one-year-old baby gorilla.

51 home at the project`s headquarters,Dunia was looking and acting like a 52,happy young gorilla should. "Dunia is sort of a shy show-off," says Whittier. "Her 53 is growing and she`s becoming more independent,but when she is 54,the first thing she does is run back to her 55,just like she would to her mother."

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I 36 my car and was about to drive off, I
37 at the roadside. A piece of paper 38 my eye. I picked it up and read it 39 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.
The form turned
out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ 40 of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and __41 : no one would throw this away, especially 42 it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal 43 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed __44 . The form had been blown by the wind, so 45 would I find the owners?

On the weekend, a happy couple 52 my house and brought
me a big gift. They said they had panicked(恐慌)and 53 the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to 54 another 8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing 55 that at first glance seemed minor.

The bicycle he wanted was $90! 37 on earth was he going to get the 38 of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles.
