The next day, the old man boarded the bus 32 , smiled and said in a loud voice, “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, 33 , and murmured (咕哝) “Good morning” in reply.
The following weeks we were more 34 . He was dressed in a nice old suit and a wide tie and his thin hair had been 35 combed. He said good morning to us every day and we 36 began to nod and talk to him.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver 37 smilingly and asked, “Have a(n) 38 , Charlie?” He nodded shyly and said yes. We whistled and clapped him.

The summer went by, and the autumn was closing in 42 one morning Charlie wasn’t 43 at his usual stop. He wasn’t there the next day and the day after that. The bus, once filled with 44 and flowers, 45 to silence.
Many years have passed by, but I will never forget the old man, who left such an impression on me that summer.

Another 7 is the fear that candidates will be owned or 8 by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 9 .
On the 10 side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really 11 just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is 12 if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.

Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of 16 or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control 17 discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 18 .

As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears(恐惧) were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange 1 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 2 me so much. There was never total 3, but a streetlight or passing car lights 4 clothes hung over a chair take on the 5 of a wild animal.

My 8 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 9 very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 10 on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home — that was no 11 . After school, 12 , when all the buses were 13 up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get on the wrong one and be taken to some 14 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my 15 .
