The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He ___16___ me with a puzzle—all because he waved to me like someone does ___17___ seeing a close friend. A big, ___18___ smile accompanied his wave. For the next few days I tried to ___19___ his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had ___20___ me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the ___21___ that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.
Then one day the ___22___ was solved. As I ___23___ the school he was standing in the middle of the road ___24___ his stop sign. I was in line behind four cars. ___25___ the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars ___26___. To the first he waved and ___27___ in just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same ___28___ from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff-looking(表情刻板的) businessman, gave a brief, almost ___29___ wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school ___30___ more heartily.
Every morning I continued to watch the man with ___31___. So far I haven’t seen anyone ___32___ to wave back.
