Some years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across the country to Brisbane after the meeting ended. The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert, so we had to take food, water, and extra gas(汽油) w  1  us.
The first day was a lot of fun as we were excited and laughing at each other’s jokes. By the third day of driving in the seemingly endless desert, we began to get b  2 . We had been quiet for a few hours when Chris found some kangaroos in the distance. We were b  3  excited and decided to get a closer look. Chris speeded up to
c  4  up with the kangaroos. We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!
Chris s  5  the car and we got out. Behind the car was a larger kangaroo l  6  completely quiet on the ground. Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its h  7 . He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then he put his arm a  8  the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I was still surprised, but I took out my c___9___. While I was ready to take photos, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.
I started laughing but Chris looked very serious. He said his wallet and passport were in the jacket. I started laughing even harder. I stopped laughing, h  10 , when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket!

The bell for class rang. All the students took out their 46 , waiting for the teacher. Our Chinese teacher, Miss Liu, had told us before that we were going to write a composition    47 class.

A minute passed, and another, 48 the teacher didn't appear. We began to wonder what was the matter with her. Was she ill? Or had she forgotten about the class? 49 could tell. Soon some students began to study other subjects, some students began to talk and even made    50 .

About ten minutes later, the door opened and Miss Liu 51 came in, smiling. She didn't say sorry to the class. We felt 52 angry. The teacher often told us never to be late for class and said it was 53 manners to be late. She also said that if we were late, we should make an apology (道歉) 54 at once or after class. But now she was late and had kept the whole class waiting for such a long time and didn't even tell us the reason. It was unfair. At this moment, Miss Liu picked up a piece of chalk(粉笔) and    55    "Teacher Is Late" on the blackboard and said that was the topic of our composition today. All of us smiled and understood what the teacher meant.
