     It was a cold windy winter day and I was walking home from work. My head pointed down  against the 1 when I noticed an old lady. She was   2   on the sidewalk in her house slippers (拖鞋).

    As I   3   her, I saw that she was well into her 80s, and she was holding some  4   in her hands.I walked on and arrived at the traffic light. Waiting there, I saw the mailbox   5   the street. The light turned green, but I pretended (假装) to check my phone and waited for her to catch up with me. In this neighborhood, even crossing with the green light was   6  . Drivers often drove   7   through red lights and stop signs.

    I stayed there until she   8   me. I turned to her and touched her gently on the arm. She smiled and took my hand in hers and   9   it. Her small hand was soft and warm. Hand-in-hand, we were waiting for the 10  to change.

    When the light turned green, we walked together slowly across the street, 11   the letters in the mailbox. Then I took her 12   across the street. As I walked the rest of the way home, I could still feel the  13  of her hand in my own.

    People say the first language of all humans is 14  . A caring touch helps to make a bad situation  15  . And even now, every time I think of the old lady, I can still feel the power of touch.
