School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very 41 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me 42 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the 43 , tries to break the unfortable atmosphere by striking the match of 44 .
I tried to mind my manners and 45 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 46 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in particular (专门) , I could see the 47 and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 48 the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 49 as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I was 50 . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great 51 that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and 52 is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to 53 that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was 54 her job. She had a whole world of 55 and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very 56 . I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie 57 she was a bus driver. I had 58 her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 59 else’s world, and may not be 60 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.
