On Sunday, the day after my second visit to the Saturn store, my wife, Jane, said, “I don’t know if you remember, but today’s my fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.” She had been 　36 with breast cancer five years ago and undergone surgery. I was 　37 that I had forgotten.

The next day, Jane went to work and I called Saturn to 　38 her a new car. I knew she had always wanted a 　39 car. The sales consultant at Saturn said he had one left 　40 he couldn’t guarantee it’d still be available because they were 　41 fast. I said I’d take my 　42 and asked him to put it in the showroom.

At 9:30 Saturday morning I turned into the Saturn parking lot. “What are you doing?” Jane asked 　43 . “You promised me we’d get home 　44 .”

But no sooner had we stepped into the store than Jane 　45 the little white Saturn coupe(双门轿车). “Oh, what a pretty car,” she said. “I’d love the new car.”

46 she let out a scream. A sign stood on the hood(车篷)of the car and it said “ 47 , Jane. This car is yours. Let’s celebrate 　48 . From Milt, Billy and Team Saturn”

Jane collapsed in my arms and 　49 . I was in tears too. There was 50 in the store. Our sales consultant had 　51 it so that we could share the moment alone. Even so, people were standing outside the windows. When Jane collapsed in my arms, I saw everybody outside 　52 . 　

Over the years, I’ve told this story across the world as an example of excellent 　53 . A woman in San Francisco heard it. She called 　54 long distance and bought a new car.
