　　2017中考英語閱讀理解訓(xùn)練：Understanding people

　　“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 (氣氛)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 (值得)listening to .

　　“My father?s ill , ”she said to no one in particular (特別地)。 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 (痛苦)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 (意識到)Janie wasn?t only a bus driver , that was just her job . She had a whole world of family and cares 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 as unimportant .
