4 . We were five minutes into the worst disorder. That was the worst experience — approaching Boston Airport in a severe winter _______. I turned to the woman next to me and said, ''Hey, would you mind _______ with me for a few minutes? I'm really nervous."
''Sure. My name is Sue;the woman replied, _______ warmly. ''What brings you to Boston? '' I started to explain that I was on a business trip. Then the plane shook violently, and _______ slipped of my tongue. ''I might need to hold your hand too.'' Sue took my hand in both of hers, _______ it, and held tight. When Sue took my hand on that scary flight to Boston, I almost wept with relief. She was so calm, effective, and _______ —''Yep, this is a little bumpy(颠簸的), but we'll be on the ground safely soon,'' she told me — that I asked her what she did for a living. ''I'm a retired physical education teacher, and I _______ women's volleyball, '' she said. _______, I could see what an awesome coach she must have been.
Sue and I talked about our families, our vacations, our love of the ocean until the plane finally _______. Then the businessman sitting on the other side of her, who'd been silent the entire ________, remarked that he'd ________ our conversation. ''It ________ me and I was not scared any more.'' he said.
When we said goodbye, I gave Sue a big ________ and my card. A few days later, I received a/an ________with the subject line "Broken Hand on Jet Blue."
''I have to admit that I was just as ________ as you were but did not say it,'' Sue wrote. ''I just ________ your hand as hard as I could. Thank you for helping me through this very scary ________'' She added that when she'd told her friends about our conversation, they ________ her because they knew she loved to talk.
I told my friends about Sue too. I explained how kind she was to me, and what I learned: It's OK to ask for help from a________ if you need it. Now if I mention to my friends that I am ________ or worried, they respond, ''Just think of Sue''
