完形填空
At noon today I said goodbye to New York forever, thus joining that growing group of people who, for one reason or another, have decided the city is no longer to our liking.
A lot of literature has been written on this ___16     —the disappointed New Yorker—and I’ve read much of it,but none of the cases seem to fit___17___my feelings about the city. I don’t hate New York; there is really nothing there to hate and    18    very little to love. It is a city of indifference, and that’s the problem. I found I could only    19    indifference in return.
A few days ago, in Central Park I saw a man leaning on a litter can drinking a carton of orange juice, and when he finished, he tossed the container not in the can but on the    20   . I don’t understand this, but there is a lot about New York I don’t understand. ___21___ I don’t understand why the city has no soul. Vienna almost suffocates the citizens with care, Paris manages to inspire    22    own with a sense of their fulfillment; but New York’s key    23    is that it doesn’t really care about anything.
I recall,    24   , the New Year’s Eve when, after a dinner party, a friend of mine went down to the street to get a taxicab and the cab turned too sharply    25    hit him. His wife and I took him in the cab to Lenox Hill Hospital, and while we were trying to get emergency    26    for him, the cabdriver was    27    at us for the fare. Such things may happen in other large cities, and undoubtedly    28   , but they reflect a lack of caring, a sickness in the 29    that I find difficult to forgive and impossible to    30   .
And so I come to the bottom line. I don’t want to live in a city where a woman___31___ for a lost dog and receives dozens of telephone calls from a variety of people saying they are torturing the animal and will continue to do so___32___ she pays large sums of money; or in a city where I am___33___ I must always have a $10 in my wallet for a possible robber because without that I will surely be stabbed; or in a city where my mailman leaves a note in my box at Christmas ___34___the size of the tip he expects. Above all, I want to get away from the___35___of New York. I want to care and it may sound pointed— be cared about.
