The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 36 rules. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 37 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their 38.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 39 suddenly rang out, “40! This is your driver speaking.” We 41 the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The 42 came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go 43.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf. I saw her 44 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices were 46. For many of us, these were the 47 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 48, to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help 49. There was the feeling of relief(解脱) that we were not being robbed. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50. “Good morning, neighbor.” It was not so 51 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, and many laughed.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had 53 heard before in bus No. 151.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day I was 55 off happily.

After 21 years of marriage，my wife wanted me to take another woman，my widowed mother, out to dinner and a movie．Due to the 31 of my work and my three children，I visited her only 32 ．That night I called inviting her to go out．Though a bit 33 ，she accepted it happily．
That Friday after work，I drove over to 34 her up．On reaching her house，I noticed that she seemed to be nervous about our35 ．Wearing the dress she had worn to 36 her last wedding anniversary，she smiled like an angel．
We went to a37 that，although not elegant，was very comfortable．After we sat down，I 38 my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me．A smile was on her lips．“I used to have to 39 the menu when you were smal1，”she said．“Then it’s time you relaxed and let me return the 40 ，”I responded．During the dinner，we had such a 41 conversation-all about each other’s life—that we42 the movie．When back home, she said, “Pity we didn’t see the film．Yet I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me 43 you．” I agreed．
A few days later，Mother died of a massive heart attack．It 44 so suddenly that I had no 45 to do anything for her．some time later，I 46 an envelope of a copy of a restaurant receipt from where mother and I had 47 ．An attached note said，“I paid this 48 in advance．I wasn‘t sure whether I could be there；but nevertheless，I paid for two—one for you and the other for your wife．You’ll never know 49 that night meant for me．I love you, son．”
At that moment．I understood the importance of giving our loved ones the time they 50 because these things can never be put off till “some other time”．

We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store.11 we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 12 and making a sale.
One lesson stands out in my 13 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 14a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed （磨破）and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to 15 to buy anything. He looked 16 the toy section, picked up this item and 17 , and carefully put them 18in their place.
Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes 19 and the dimple（酒窝）in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas _20____ to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his 21 and look around. He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 22 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”
“How much you got?” Dad asked.
The little boy held out his hand and 23 it. His hand was creased(起皱) with 24 lines of dirt from holding his 25 too tightly. In his hand 26 two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’ll just 27 it,” Dad said as he 28 the sale. Dad’s reply still 29in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a 30 .

As we all know “ The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” and “ 26 every successful man there is a woman.” Both these 27 mean the same things. Men rule the 28__ , but their wives rule them.
Chinese people and other foreigners often say, 29_ of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want 30__ for themselves. They want good 31 . When they work they want to 32__ better paid. They want to be as 33__ as men.
In the 1960s, the American women’s liberation 34 was started by women who don’t want to 35 behind successful men. They want to stand beside them, with the same 36__ for success. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs or 37__ are closed to them. They refused to work side by side with men who do the 38 work for higher pay.
In America, a liberation woman must be 39 of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “ You have come a long 40 , baby”, she will 41 and answer, “Not nearly as 42 as I am going to go, baby.”
On the other hand , this movement is quite 43 and many American women do not agree. 44__ it has already made some important 45__ in women’s lives.

Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 36 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 37 work.
I was 38 a school bus to make ends meet and 39 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 40 five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 41 the job. “Why has my life become so 42 ?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 43 a little girl, she handed me an earring 44 I should keep it 45 somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it 46 me – I had been giving all of my 47 to what was going wrong with my 48 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 49 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 50 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 51 from a lady who was a director at a larger 52 . She asked me if I would 53 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My 54 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 55 that I completely changed my life.
