Mr. Jones liked to be comfortable, so every time he took a train, he used to put a bag on the seat next to him and pretend that it belonged to a friend who had gone     【小題1】(buy) something at the station.
One day, Mr Jones did this when the train 【小題2】(be) very crowded. When nearly all the seats 【小題3】(take), an old man got on (上) the train. Looking at the bag, he asked, “Is this seat taken?”
“Yes,” said Mr Jones, “It belongs to my friend who has gone to buy some cigarettes. He  【小題4】(come) back soon.” Pretending to worry about his friend, he 【小題5】   (look) out of the window.
“All right,” said the old man, “I’ll just sit here until your friend 【小題6】  (return), if you don’t mind.” Mr Jones couldn’t say anything. Just then the train began 【小題7】(move) out of the station.
“Well,” said the old man, “what a pity (遺憾)! Your friend 【小題8】(miss) the train already, but his bag is still here.” Before Mr Jones could say anything, the old man took the bag and threw it out of the window.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next to ours was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing (縫紉) and reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “Why doesn’t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including cleaning the window.

Late in the afternoon I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺點(diǎn)) ?

From then on, whenever I want to judge (判斷) someone, I ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window? ” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others’ world more clearly.

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure (奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a four?hour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.

Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation— in another language.It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying.

Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two?day trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home，although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.

She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time.

There are always many people on the train from all walks of life，different countries，and many languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures.If you get hungry，you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.

It sure beats driving the car，which has to stop for food and restrooms.And it is better than taking the bus.

"Who did this?" Mrs. Green asked with a piece of broken glass in her hand. She had never been so   51  with us. The classroom was so quiet. All students looked at the window except me. I kept my head   52  . I knew it was me. I broke it when I practiced   53  baseball. But should I tell the truth? If I did, I would be in trouble, I didn’t have enough   54 . How could I afford to buy such an expensive window? I really didn’t want to put up my hand,   55  at last I said. “I did it. I am sorry.” It was not   56  for me to say those words.
Mrs. Green went to the book shelf and took down a book. Then she walked to me. Looking at  57 , I was a little afraid. To my surprise, she said, "I know you like  58   .Here is the book about them. It’s yours now. I give it to you not because you broke the window, but because you are  59  ." I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t punished(懲罰). However, I was given my favorite book about birds.
It happened 20 years ago, but I still   60  the book. The lesson my teacher taught me that day will be in my heart forever.
