The last thing Jack wanted to do was wake up early and go to work on Monday morning. Getting out of the bus, Jack found there was still 30 minutes before his 1 began, so he2 to take a walk around the block to adjust(调整) himself to another busy working day.
While walking, he3 a young couple talking to each other in a foreign language. "Excuse me! Could you help us please?" the woman called to him in strange English. "We are tourist, lost. Need ‘Dolphin' hotel. You know where is?" She was courageous as she spoke a (an)4 language.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. I'm in a hurry," Jack said, and moved off. He was so upset about his problems that he5 without thinking. Having walked about 100 feet, he felt he was wrong and6 back. Luckily, the couple were 7 there. He walked up to them. "I remembered where the ‘Dolphin' hotel is. I'm sorry, I just got 8 : there are hundreds of hotels in New York. It's not far from here. you may9 there. Just go straight to that crossroad, then turn to the left, and you will see a white-blue building. That will be the10 you're looking for."
The couple thanked him, and Jack11 lightly this time. But when he turned his back, he saw that the couple didn't move, and the look on their faces was the12 . "Maybe I was talking too 13 , and they couldn't understand me well enough", he thought. All of a sudden, he felt that he could do something more important than sit in his office all day long. He knew that he couldn't leave these young people behind: they couldn't14 get to the hotel by themselves. He walked up to them once again. They looked at him in surprise. "I could15 you to the hotel, if you still need my help," Jack said. For the first time since the beginning of this month, he felt relaxed.
