C “It’s over! Thank goodness!” School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus. Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere(气氛) by striking the match of talks. I try to listen politely, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening to. “My father’s ill,” she said to no one in particular(特别地). I could see worry in her eyes. I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile. With a sudden change of interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?” With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already lost 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 seat thinking of the great pain when 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 was more than a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares for them too. I suddenly felt 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(丢弃)as unimportant. I shouldn’t have been so selfish and self-centered. Understanding people is an art. 72.When the students get on the school bus, Janie usually _______ . A.listens to music B.talks about her own worry C.sits on her seat without words D.meets them with a smile 73.After she learned Janie’s story, the writer thought of _______ . A.her father’s death B.her mother’s pain C.the great pain of the writer’s own mother when her mother’s father died. D.the pain of Janie’s parents 74.Why did the writer feel selfish?Because _______ . A.she had never had Janie as anything except a driver B.she had made only a few friends in the school C.she had hardly thought of herself D.she had never listened to others
