----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1)本文转述的是一个发生在巴士上的动人故事。直到故事结束处读者才明白那位老人是把准备祭拜亡妻的鲜花送给了年轻姑娘。 31. touching。故事令人感伤或令人动容，由touch加-ing构成形容词touching，做story的定语。

32. along。这句说巴士沿南方偏远的道路颠簸前行。用along(沿着)表明是在行进途中，为后面的故事营造出一个背景。

33. was / sat。这是一个倒装句，说过道对面坐着一个年轻姑娘，主句缺少谓语动词，可以用动词was或sat。 34. to。说姑娘不断打量着老人手中的鲜花，“?eyes came to.”, 讲目光所至，故填 to。 35. for。常用结构 time for sb. to do sth. ，填for。

36. he。这里讲把鲜花塞进姑娘的怀里的人，当然是那个old man了，自然是用he指代。

37. the。这里需要用冠词the，来表示喜欢老人手里的鲜花，有所特指，填the。
