第二节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 36 rules. 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their 39 .
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “ 41 ! This is your driver speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “ Put your papers down. All of you.” The 42 came down. “ Now , turn and face the person next to you. Go 43 .”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf. I saw her 44 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “ Now repeat after me. Good morning , neighbor!”
Our voice were 46 . For many of us, these were the 47 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 48 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief (解脱) that we were not being robbed. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . “Good morning, neighbor.” It was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in 53 .
When I reached my stop. I said 54 to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day I was 55 off happily.
