       Recently, my husband and I got up at the    1   of 4 am to catch an early    2 to New York .We were extremely   3  ,perhaps because we were sleep-walking . And we were all ready when the taxi came to   4  us 45 minutes later.

       It was a quiet   5  to the airport .We didn’t even chat ,because he was enjoying his new iPod .At the airport ,the taxi   6  to let us get off ,at which point the iPod guy   7  me and said , “We don’t have our   8 .”

       “You are   9  ,right?” I replied ,for he   10   lied like that.

       “No. I mean it .Did you bring it down?” I didn’t”

       “What do you mean ,you didn’t ?” I shouted. “All our things are there.”

       Later ,while walking along Broadway, I noted how  20 I was. I hadn’t said a thing about his forgetting our suitcase at home.

People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but  31  is the window for me?

I’m not disappointed, just a little worried  32  as my roommate said, “Why are you angry with yourself once you  33  to do anything?” I had no idea.

Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am  46  to get help the next time I have any questions. I can  47  I am not smart, But I shouldn’t hide it. I must  48  it as soon as possible. 49  I will have to waste much more time on it ---just like tonight.
