III. Cloze (20 points)
School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat in the very front of the 36 because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting at the front makes you 37 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the 38 atmosphere by striking the match of conversation. I try to mind my manners and 39 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 40 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 41 . I could see the 42 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 43 the tears, she responded, “Heart trouble,” her eyes lowered as she 44 , “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I couldn’t respond. I was 45 . My heart 46 for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 47 my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to go 48 that. Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t 49 a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as 50 but a driver.
I suddenly felt very 51 . I realized I had only thought of people as 52 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 53 .
For all I know, I’m just another person in 54 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 55 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments to keep. Understanding people is an art.
