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 uncomfortable 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 .

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.
