On August 26, 1999, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm. The rain caused the streets to 16 and the subway system almost came to a stop.
Unfortunately, this happened during the morning 17 hour. Many people who were going to work were 18 to go home. Some battled to 19 a taxi or to get on a bus. Still others 20 the storm bravely, walking miles to get to work.
I happened to be one of the people on the way to work that morning. I went from s
ubway line to subway line only to find that most 21 had stopped. After making my way through crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was 22 . Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to 23 the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the 24 . So I took the train going in the 25 direction, and then switched back to the downtown train. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the train 26 my stop. Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. When I finally got to my office, I was 27 through, exhausted and discouraged.
My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When it was 5:00 pm，I was ready to go home. I was about to 28 off my computer when I
received an email from Garth, my Director:
I would like to thank all of you who made the 29 and eventually reported to work. It is always reassuring (令人欣慰的), at times like these, when employees so clearly show their attention and devotion to their 30 . Thank you.
