School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired, I sat at the very front of the bus because of 1 to get home．Sitting at the front makes you 2 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies． Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of 3 ．
I try to mind my manners and 4 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day．On this day, however, her conversation was worth listening to．
My father’s sick, she said to no one in 5 ．I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes．With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, What’s wrong with him?
With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 6 the tears, she responded, Heart trouble． Her eyes 7 as she continued．I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can 8 losing him．”
I couldn’t respond．I was 9 ．My heart ached for her．I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 10 my own mother was thrown into when my father died．
I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her．I wouldn’t like anyone to go through that．Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver．That was just her job．She had a whole world of family and concerns too．I had never thought of her as anything but a 11 ．I suddenly felt very 12 ．I realized I had only thought of people as 13 as what their purposes were in my life．I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver．1 had judged her by her job and regarded her as unimportant．

(答案→)D 解析：文章讲述的是作者通过和司机的谈话，意识到了自己以往对待别人的错误看法。【小题1】上下文，此处指的是作者想回家的急切，焦急的心情。【小题2】词组搭配，根据like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies可知，坐在汽车前面让他很突出，就像一堆阴暗的便士里面一个闪亮的硬币stand out 意为突出【小题3】上下文，根据后文可知司机想打破这种尴尬的氛围，开始了一段对话【小题4】上下文，根据mind my manners可知，作者想言行方面表现好点，因此想真诚地倾听。【小题5】句意理解，司机并没有特意在跟谁讲话【小题6】句意理解，根据With her eyes wet and her voice tight可知，司机在努力控制自己的感情，fight tears意为，控制不让眼泪掉下来。【小题7】语境，因为司机很伤心，所以此处讲的是她低垂着双眼，伤心地回忆起了母亲，也无法想象失去父亲的情景。【小题8】句意理解，我无法忍受再失去父亲。Bear此处意为忍受【小题9】上下文，作者得知这些以后感到很震惊，出乎了作者意料【小题10】语境，当父亲去世的时候，母亲陷入了多大的痛苦之中。【小题11】句意理解，我以前只把她当成了一个司机，【小题12】上下文，根据下文的I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver和I should not have been so selfish可知，作者认为自己没有注意到别人，感到自己以前很自私。【小题13】作者以前只想到别人的目的,没有想到别人的生活，as far as 就……而言【小题14】句意理解，每个人都有要去的地方【小题15】动词搭配，keep appointment 守约，践行约定

这个答案应该是对的
