阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I was traveling to visit my sister who lived a few states away. It was about a six-hour drive and I 41 at quite a few gas stations along the way. One of them was in a small town that looked just like countless others I had 42 on my way, but it turned out to be very 43 .

When I 44 the gas station, the two girls working at the register smiled and said hello. They had a very friendly, welcoming energy and I smiled and 45 them back. Then I made my way to the restroom. I was surprised to see that there were 46 messages written all over the stalls（厕所外的洗手处）, like “No matter what don't give up.” “Smile” “God loves you” “We all go through something, let your something make you beautiful, let your something make you strong.”

So 48 bathroom stalls are filled with pretty negative things so this one really 49 ! I guess it's the last place I expected to find messages like these, and it was a welcome 50 in the middle of a long trip.

The messages were 51 in all different handwriting styles, sizes, and ink colors, probably a 52 of the diversity of the women who left them. There were also 53 from all different states and comments about road trips, adventures, support and encouragement. It was fun reading them，which 54 made me smile.

As I left, I said goodbye to the girls 55 the counter who had knowing smiles on their faces. I left feeling a little lighter and 56 , with a smile on my own. Since then I have actually passed some of these messages on to others, 57 they will uplift someone else as well.

I guess this 58 taught me that you never know where you'll find the goodness of the world, where you'll find inspiration, where 59 of love are going to pop up and surprise you. They might even be found in the most 60 places, like a bathroom stall.
