I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But 28 would I know her name? I have 29 talked with her before. In fact, I’ve never even thought about talking to her! I stared at (盯着) my paper and started to feel rather guilty (惭愧的). Finally, I handed in my paper 30 writing the answer to the last question.
Before the class ended, one student 31 the teacher if the last question would count (计入) into our grade. “In your life,” the teacher said, “you will meet many people. All are 32 . They deserve (值得) your attention (注意) and care, even if all you do is just smiling and saying hello.”
