"It's over!Thank goodness!"
School was 11 and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school 12 .
Janie,the driver,tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere (气氛) 13 striking the match of talks. I try to listen 14 ,but I cannot do it,usually I am too15 thinking about my day. On this day,however,her talk was worth 16 .
"My father's ill," she said to no one in particular. I could see worry in her 17 I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students 18 a smile.
With a sudden change of interest,I asked, "What's wrong with him?"
With her eyes wet and her voice 19 ,she answered, "Heart trouble. ”Her eyes lowered as she continued, "I've already 20 my mom,so I don't think I can stand losing him. " I couldn't answer. My heart ached for her.
I sat on the 21 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 anyone to go through that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn't only a bus 22 ,that was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares 23 .
I suddenly 24 very selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her 25 and brushed her off as unimportant.
I shouldn't have been so selfish and selfcentered.
