I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to   5   that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,   6  , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   7  city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he   8   to tell me all about his friend.
