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(粉筆) and   55    "Teacher IsLate" on the blackboard and said that was the topic of our composition today. All of us smiled and understood what the teacher meant.

On a cold morning at a bus station, a man played six famous pieces of music for about an hour. During that time, about two thousand people went through the station, most of them were on their way to work.
3 minutes later: a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down, stopped for a few seconds and went away.
4 minutes later: the musician received his first dollar. A woman threw the money in the box and kept on walking without stopping.
6 minutes later: a young man stopped to listen to him. Then he looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes later: a 3-year-old boy stopped to look at the musician, but his mother took him away. Several other children did the same as the boy. And nearly all the parents took their children away.
45 minutes later: the musician kept on playing. Only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 persons gave him money but left quickly.
After 1 hour, the musician finished playing. In the end, he collected $ 32. No one noticed that he had finished playing.
No one knew this, but the musician was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. At that time, he played one of the most wonderful pieces ever written, with a very expensive violin.
If we do not have time to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing with the most beautiful violin, how many other things are we missing?
