“It’s over!
Thank goodness!” school was 1 and I was tired. I 2 at the front of the school bus.
Janie, the
driver, tries to 3 the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking
the match of talks. I try to listen 4 , but usually I am too 5 thinking about my day. On this day,
however, her talk was worth 6 .
“My father’s ill
,” she said to no one in particular(特别地). I could see worry in her 7 . I had never seen her like this
before. She always meets students 8 a smile.
With a sudden
change of interest, I asked, “ what’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes
wet and her voice 9 , she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her
eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already 10 my mum, so I don’t think I can stand
losing him.” I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.
I sat on the 11 thinking of the great pain my own mother
was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for
her. I wouldn’t want to anyone to go through that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus 12 , that was just her job. She had a
whole world of family and cares 13 .
I suddenly 14 very selfish. I paid no attention to
Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her
off as unimportant.
I shouldn’t have been so selfish and self-centered. 15 people is an art.
