Question

“It’s over! Thank goodness!” school was _  and I was tired. I   _at the front of the school bus.

Janie, the driver, tries to     the uncomfortable atmosphere(气氛,氛围) by striking the match of talks. I try to listen   , but usually I am too     thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth     .

“My father’s ill ,” she said to no one in particular(特别地). I could see worry in her      . I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students      a smile.

With a sudden change of interest, I asked, “ What’s wrong with him?”

With her eyes wet and her voice     , she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already     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    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     , that was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares     .

I suddenly     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.     people is an art.
