　　Years ago I was talking with a classmate in Sydney. At the time his wife had just passed away not too long ago.

　　Whenever I _6 what he had said, I would put down the things I was doing to grab a novel, turn on the music and lie down on the couch to _7 some time for myself. I would appreciate the glorious scenery of the Tanshui River through a French window, _8 the dust gathered on the glass.

Time passed 22___ . One hour, one hour and a half…I could not wait any longer and 23___ my cellphone out to call the friend I had planned to meet that evening. An officer 24___ over. “No Phone!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling terrorists and giving them 25___.”
Oh, my God! I was just a university professor. I had no  26___ but to put my phone away. My husband and I were getting hungry and  27_____. I wanted to cry, to 28____ onto a chair and shout: “I am nothing but an American professor!”
