Was it 1949 our school was set up?
A.that B.when C.which D.what
School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of my 16 to get home. Sitting at the front makes you 17 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the 18 atmosphere by striking the match of 194 .
I try to mind my manners and 20 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 21 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father's sick,” she said to no one in 22 . I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked,“What's wrong with him?"
With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 23 the tears, she responded,“Heart trouble.”Her eyes lowered as she 24 . “I've already lost my mum, so I don't think I can stand losing him.”
I couldn't respond. I was 25 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 26 my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, 27 still is, for her. I wouldn't like anyone to go 28 that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn't only a bus driver. That was 29 her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as 30 but a driver.
I suddenly felt very 31 . I realized I had only thought of people as 32 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as 33 .
For all I know, I'm just another person in 34 else's world, and may not even be important. I 35 not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments (约会) to keep. Understanding people is an art.

Traveling on the Information Superhighway
In the early 1990s, few people outside of governments and universities had ever heard the term internet. The World Wide Web was in its infancy(初期), Back then if you said to someone, “Send me an e-mail with directions to your house.” All you would have received is a puzzled look . Technology has come a long way since those days. Today, the Internet connects millions of computers around the globe, making a worldwide exchange of information possible.
The Internet is often called the “information superhighway.” That’s because vast amounts of information travel over it. If you searched the word grasshopper, for instance, you would have thousands of sites to look at. Some sites would give information on these insects. Other sites would be companies with “grasshopper” in their names. Still other sites might want to sell you books about grasshoppers.
In addition to information, the Internet also offers one of the greatest inventions in communications, electronic mail, or e-mail for short. E-mail is the brainchild of a shrewd(精明的)man named Ray Tomlison. He developed the program and sent himself the first e-mail in 194. He isn’t sure, but he thinks his first message was QWERTYUIOP ( the top row of letters on a key-board). As a result of Tomlinson’s invention of e-mail, the way in which the world communicates has changed.
Thanks to e-mail, you can communicate with a student in London and find out how his weather experiment is going. E-mail has also changed the speed with which we exchange information. In minutes, you can contact another person who shares your love of kites or stamps. Your aunt and uncle can send you pictures of their new puppy without ever leaving their home. If you are sick and can’t attend school, your teacher can e-mail you the assignments you have missed. You can even send e-mail to a grasshopper expert and ask questions for a research paper.
However, there is one big disadvantage when you use e-mail. Unlike a letter you send through the mail, e-mail is NOT private. It can be reviewed by anyone with access to your receiver’s computer. Your receiver could also forward it to other people—so be careful. Do not say anything in an e-mail that you wouldn’t say in front of crowd!
