We look at the world around us everyday, but somehow we don’t manage to see it until what we’ve become used to suddenly disappeared. That’s to say that you may get used to some places and some ________ around you. For example, the neatly-dressed woman I used to see --or look at on my way to work each ________.

For three years, no matter ________the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 a.m. On ________ days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime turn out clean cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. ________, she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I ________all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how ________I expected to see her each morning. You might say I ________her.

“Did she have an accident? Something ________?” I thought to myself about her disappearance. Now that she was gone, I felt I had _______her. I began to realize that part of our ________life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar strangers: the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who ________walks her dog along the street ever morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are ________markers in our lives. They add weight to our ________ of places and belongings.

Think about it, while walking to work, ________we mark where we are by passing a certain building, why not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though unnamed , person?
