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.”

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.
