10 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

If an old man suddenly falls down in front of you, will you help him? Most of us would choose to help him     1     we know it’s the right thing to do. But others might refuse     2     (do) so. In my opinion, we should not only think about     3     (we) but others as well.

I’ve had an experience like this before. I saw a woman walking with a baby in her arms while it     4     (rain) heavily. They were both wet because they don’t have     5     umbrella. I held out my umbrella for them     6     (quick) and I walked several miles with them till they got home. The woman thanked me a lot for     7     I did for her. Offering help to people     8     trouble can make them feel really warm. And perhaps one day we’ll become the ones who need help. So why don’t we just reach out a helpful hand whenever we can? The more we trust and help each other, the     9     (good) our world will be.

It’s time for us to show our     10     (kind) to others.
