In 2021, Bill Sumiel, a man with kidney disease, took an Uber ride home after his dialysis (透析) treatment. Little did he know, this ordinary trip would change ___1___ (he) life forever.

His driver, Tim Letts, was friendly and started a conversation. Unlike many other Uber drivers, Tim was happy ___2___ (chat). During the ride, Bill shared that he had been ___3___ (wait) for a kidney transplant (移植) for years. He had no idea that his words would ___4___ (deep) move the stranger.

When they arrived at Bill’s house, Tim made a ___5___ (surprise) offer. “If you’ll take my name and number, I’d like to donate a kidney to you,” he said. Bill was so ___6___ (shock) that he could hardly write it down.

Incredibly (令人难以置信), tests ___7___ (show) that Bill and Tim were a perfect match. Tim, ___8___ had always thought about becoming a donor, saw this as the right moment. “I come from a healthy family, and I didn’t see it as ___9___ big challenge,” he explained. The surgery (外科手术) was a success, and Bill received a ___10___ (two) chance at life.

Tim later said, “If a person like that has nobody to stand by him, then what’s the point? We should be the change we want to see in the world.” For Bill, a simple Uber ride turned into the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
