　　I was shown into the waiting room, which as I had 1 , was full. There were dirty 2 on the wall , and the tattered (撕碎的) magazines on the table 3 a great pile of waste paper. I took my seat and decided to 4 the time watching people around me. A young man beside me was turning over the 5 of a magazine quickly and nervously. It was 6 to understand what he was looking at, for every three minutes or so he would 7 the magazine onto the table, seize another, and sink back into his 8 . Opposite me there was a young mother who was trying to keep her son from 9 . The boy had clearly grown tired of 10 . He had placed an ashtray(烟灰缸) on the floor and was making plane-sounds 11 he waved a pencil in his hand. Near him an old man was fast asleep, and the boy's mother was afraid that sooner or later her son would 12 the gentleman. At the same time the 13 man next to me kept sighing (叹气) loudly. 14 , he got up, walked towards the door and began taking down the pictures on the 15 .Soon growing 16 , he snatched one more magazine out of the bottom of the pile and 17 tiredly into a chair. Just then the boy had become quiet and was sleeping in her mother's arms.

　　There was a complete 18 in the room as the door opened and a nurse entered. The people looked up with a ray of 19 in the eyes, then settled down again as the next 20 patient was let out of the

Some time ago, a fellow teacher asked me to be the referee(仲裁人)  on the grading of an exam question. He was about to give a student a    1    for his answer to a physics question, while the student said he should receive a perfect    2   . I read the exam question: “Show how it is possible to    3   the height of a tall building with the    4    of a barometer(气压表) .”

The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building, fasten a    5  

rope to it,   6    the barometer to the street, and then bring it up,   7    the length of the rope. That’s the    8   .”

I pointed out that the student really have a strong case for full credit(学分) ,since he had answered the question   9    and correctly, but the answer did not prove competence(能力)  in physics. I   10    that the student have another try. I gave the student six minutes, with the   11    that his answer should show some    12   of physics. His answer reads:

“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean    13    the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer,   14    its fall with a stop watch. Then using the formula s=1/2at²,calculate the height of the building.”

I gave the student    15    full credit.

Before I left, the student said he had   16    answers. “But,” said the student,   17    the best way is to knock at the superintendent’s(管理者)  door. When he    18    ,you say: “Mr. Superintendent, here I have a(n)    19    barometer. If you will tell me the height of the building, I will    20   you this barometer.”

　　It had been a tiring day and I was looking forward to a quiet evening. My 1 would not be back until late and I had 2 to sit comfortably(舒适地)in a chair in the 3 room and read a good book. I put the children to bed 4 and prepared a sandwich and a cup of coffee for myself. Soon I was seated comfortably with my 5 in front of me and the sandwich and the cup of coffee on a small table beside me.

　　I was just beginning to 6 when the telephone rang. I put down my book and hurried to 7 it. By the time I got back to the living room, my coffee was 8 . I ate the sandwich and began 9 cold coffee with the book 10 open to the first page. 11 there was a loud knock at the front 12 . It surprised me so much that I spilled(洒)some coffee on my skirt. The man at the door was looking 13 a certain address and 14 me to give him some information. It 15 me a long time to explain something to him. After that, I sat down again and 16 to read a whole page without further interruption(打扰)—until the baby woke up. He started 17 at the top of his voice, 18 I run upstairs quickly. He was still awake(醒着的)at 11 o'clock when my husband came back. I really wanted to throw something 19 him when he asked me if I had spent a 20 evening!
