For a moment, I thought he might be   3  , but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was   4  . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to   5   that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,   6  , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   7   city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he   8   to tell me all about his friend.

  His friend’s main   9   in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he   10   had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming   11  , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several   12   like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California.

When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence   16   his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   17  who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had   18   the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.

  “Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He   19   and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my   20   to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.
