The train had started moving. It was 36 with people of all ages, mostly with the middle-aged workers and young students. Near the 37 sat an old man with his thirty-year-old son. As the train moved by, the son was overjoyed with the 38 outside. “See, dad, the scenery of green trees moving 39 is very beautiful.”
This behaviour from a 40 son made the other people feel strange about him. Everyone was 41 about the son. “This person seems to be 42,” a newly-married man whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started 43. Lots of drops fell on the travellers through the open window. The son excitedly said to his father, “See, dad, how 44 the rain is, too.” The man’s wife was annoyed by the rain drops spoiling (弄坏) her 45 suit.

I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days. I'm saying this because I think I just found mine!
I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really  36  schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day. I was having one of those days, the train was completely  37  and the conversation going on around me seemed to be particularly  38  . Besides, I had a bit of a headache.   _39   quickly across the station hall, I fished some  40  from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit   41   The Big Issue ( a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).
_42  the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the
Big Issue. She really looked like she'd been sleeping  43  . Her clothes were  44  and she obviously hadn't had a scrub up (擦洗) for quite a while.
