The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good 11 in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I 12 to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be 13 , but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 14 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to 15 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped(碰到) into his friend. But, 16 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 17 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 18 to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main 19 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player, and he 20 had his own tennis court(网球场). There were a lot of people with swimming 21 , but there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 22 like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He 23 that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he 24 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 25 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence (巧合) 26 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 27 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbor had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 28 the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?”I asked finally. He 29 and said,揧es. Would your brotherd’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter??It was my 30 to laugh. o“Yes.” I replied.
