完形填空 （共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）
I was on a bus one March evening. The driver didn’t
36 to start the bus soon because it was not yet
37 . A middle-aged woman got on. Tired and sad, she told her story
38 , not to anyone in particular. On her way to the station, half of her
39 was stolen. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she
40 still had some left. A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked
41 .
When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect fares. When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes, he
42 that he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home. On hearing this, she ordered the old man to
43 the bus. The old man was almost in tears as he
44 her to let him take the bus home. The driver took the conductor’s side and repeated the conductor’s
45 .
The woman was watching the incident.
46 the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she interfered (干预).
“Stop
47 him! Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”
“He doesn’t have any money!” the driver
48 .
“Well, that’s no
49 to throw him off the bus,” she insisted.
Then she reached inside her blouse, took out her
50 money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here’s his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a
51 time.”
All heads turned to the woman. “It’s only money,” she shrugged（耸肩）. She rode the rest of the way home
52 a happy smile, with the money she’d lost earlier 53 .
On the road of life, the help of strangers can
54 our loads and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the
55 will be when we make it a little smoother for others!
