　　It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people.

　　During a break in the weather, I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries. However, as I left the supermarket and drove back, the weather took a turn for the worse. 1

　　Having nowhere to go, I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation. He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway. 2

　　The man, who introduced himself as Trent, then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife, Kayti and their two daughters. I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car, as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail (冰雹). Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car. 3 Fortunately, his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail.

　　By 11:00 a.m., the electricity and phone services had both gone. 4 Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off. The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better. I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family.

　　When the hail stopped, I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye. 5 I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people.

　　As I went out the door, I asked Trent for two of his business cards. My father has since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company.

A. It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop.

B. The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help.

C. I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance.
