The sun was shining when I got on No.151 Bus. We passengers sat jammed together in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 1 rules. 2 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 3 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their 4 .
As the bus came near the Mile, a 5 suddenly rang out ― 6 !This is your driver speaking.‖ We looked at the back of the driver’s head. ―Put your papers down. All of you.‖ The 7 came down. ―Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go 8 .‖
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf(围巾).I saw her 9 every day. Our eyes met We waited for the next 10 from the driver. ―Now repeat after me. Good morning neighbor!‖
Our voice were 11 .For many of us, these were the 12 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 13 ,to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help 14 .There was the feeling of relief(解脱), that we were not being held up(抢劫). But more, there was the sense of ice being 15 . ―Good morning ,neighbor.‖ It was not so 16 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands ,many laughed. The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 17 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in 18 .
When I reached my stop, I said 19 to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day was 20 off better than most.

In the 19th century, Charles Dickens, the English novelist, wrote excitedly of a carriage, pulled along by a team of horses, that could 1 more than twenty miles of road 2 sixty minutes. To us in the twenty-first century, in which man is able to move and communicate so rapidly, the 3 of the carriage seems nothing at all. Planes fly many hundreds of miles in an hour. And even without 4 ,we can, by wireless or telephone, communicate within 5 with people on the other side of the 6 .
The benefits of the these increased speeds are countless. Businessmen say travelling from Europe to America can 7 much time, for the journey that would once have taken weeks 8 now, by air, only twenty-four hours.

Education is not an end but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children 1 for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life. 2 we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to 3 a system of education which will really prepare children for life.
In many modern countries it has 4 been accepted that ,by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve 5 of society and build a 6 nation.

If no one cleaned our streets and took the 16 away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are. 17 because everyone is ashamed to do such work ,the scientists have to waste much of their time doing 18 .
In fact, 19 we say that all of us must be educated to fit 20 for life, it means that we must be educated 21 that each of us can do whatever job 22 him, and that we can realize that all jobs are 23 to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed to do one’s work, or to laugh at 24 .Only such a type of education can be 25 valuable to society.
