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   19 .

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.”

I couldn't respond. I was  25  . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great  26  my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was,   27  still is, for her. I wouldn't like anyone to go  28  that.

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 to keep. Understanding people is an art.

Equality

  “Should men and women be equal?” this is an issue (问题) much talked all over the world. China has made great effort to improve the legal status of women and put the principle of equality into practice. However, women are still denied(否定) the right to compete with men on equal terms in many fields.

  In this enlightened(开明的) age, there still exist a certain number of men who view women as second-class citizens. They maintain many things men do could not be done by women, who are inferior(低等的), unreliable(不可信任的), irrational(无理性的) and weak. Some men even say housework is the women’s task and the wives’ sacrifices(【美】牺牲) are sure to set the husbands up for great success. So the former should have more rights than the latter.

  Nevertheless(然而), women have shown their excellence and superiority(优越) in any fields. As football players, doctors, professors, scientists, and even presidents of countries, they are as good as men and have often put men to shame. They are so conscientious(诚实的), industrious(勤奋的), and persevering(坚忍的) that they frequently succeed brilliantly(出色地) in all walks of life in addition to bearing and rearing children.

  It goes without saying that from the time when mankind first appeared on the earth, there have been men and women. Humanity(人性) could not have existed and progressed(前进) without either of them.
