问题     My faith in human nature has never been so great as it was last weekend after our family get-together in the town of Vail.
    On Saturday, we all went to the market right in the middle of the town. Near the end, we all【C1】________at the fountain near the bridge, and the kids waded (蹚水) around in the fountain until we【C2】________. This is one of the busiest walking streets.
    After we returned to the hotel late in the afternoon, my 7-year-old son Ponder【C3】________that nowhere could he find his backpack, which【C4】________his Gameboy and his watch. After a thorough【C5】________, we determined that he must have left it at the fountain.
    Ponder has never【C6】________anything. So we just take for granted that he needs no supervision (指导) for managing his【C7】________.
    He was upset, not about the Gameboy, but about the watch. "But Dad, " he said, through massive【C8】________, "they don’t make that kind of watch anymore. " We were all very【C9】________.
    Our dinner reservation was at a restaurant just on the other side of the bridge, so I【C10】________him that we would not only search the area around the fountain when we went back for dinner, but we would also find the police and ask them if the backpack had been【C11】________.
    As we exited from the parking garage, we could see the fountain as we walked down the long staircase. I saw something black【C12】________there, but it was right next to a woman standing by the fountain, so I could not【C13】________what it was or if it was hers.
    "See it, Dad?" Ponder shouted. "Don’t get too【C14】________because that may not be it, " I said. But that was it. It had been five or six hours since we left the fountain, and it was【C15】________there. There was no ID in it, and it looked like someone had looked through it and then set it right out where all could【C16】________it.
    I literally【C17】________when we reached it and it was his! Everyone in our party was blown away by this "miracle (奇迹) ". In my wildest【C18】________, I would never have imagined that this could happen nowadays.
    What a charmed life, eh? I believe this was a perfect【C19】________for a child in losing something important…to lose it and feel the full【C20】________of that loss, and then to miraculously get it back.
【C12】
选项 A、hiding
B、sitting
C、swinging
答案B
解析 由下文的“it was right next to a woman standing by the fountain”可知，黑色的东西在站在喷泉旁边的女人旁边，此处指一个黑色的东西被放在喷泉那儿。sitting意为“被放在”，符合语境，故选B。
