I have spent years of my life traveling all over the world. When I arrive in a new country or city, usually I am very  36  and go to bed early. For this  37  my first day or night in any new place is always quiet and very  38  happens.  39  my first night in Algeciras was very different. This night was very  40   and unusual.

At that time   41  in Southern Spain was a dirty and  42  looked-after city. I arrived late in the evening by  43 . As soon as I got off the boat, I went to look for a   44  . I found a small hotel not far from the boat.

This hotel looked  45  and untidy from the outside. But I was very tired and did not know my  46  around the city of Algeciras. And so I decided to stay in this  47 hotel on the quay(码头). I also decided to stay in this hotel for another   48 . The moon was full and it was a clear,   49 night. From the hotel I could  50 the sea. I could see the huge rock of Gibraltar in the bright moonlight.

The hotel had a narrow  51 and no name. When I went through this doorway, I had to climb up narrow and dark stairs to the first floor. I  52 a small cupboard with a desk in front of it. This was the hotel office.

An untidy and tired woman was sitting beside the  53 . When I said I wanted a room for the night, she took me  54  some more stairs to a room on the second floor. Inside this room the landlord was sitting playing cards with some friends. He was  55 his game of cards and I was simply a nuisance(讨厌的人). He looked at me when the woman told him that I wanted a room. Then he said, Room Five, and turned back to his game of cards.

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  . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great  51   that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and   52  is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to  53  that.

   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. Understanding people is an art.

At first I was not quite willing to sit down and watched the 90-minute football match. Usually I just checked the results because I thought that was dull to watch a game in which players kicked a ball each other. Therefore, my father loves football. During the World Cup in 2002, my dad stays up late just to watch his favorite sport. Seen his strong interest in this                game of 22 man running after a ball, I decided to sit down to watch the game. I found the game excited, and my dad explained for the rules. We shared our joy. Football is not too badly as long as I watch it with my dad!
