I had spent over five exhausting(令人疲乏不堪的) years on my essay for my Ph. D(哲学学士). and was anxiously preparing for my oral boards which were to be held in California, and I had 36 a flight through Minneapolis, where I was to change 37 . My flight was very late, and I was soon in an all—out run to 38 my flight. I had to stop to catch my 39 on a moving sidewalk when I 40 a woman in her fifties 41 with a carry-on bag.
I don’t know 42 , but I looked at her face and blurted out, “Are you going on flight 567 to California?”
She responded, “Yes.”
“So am I ,” I responded.“Give me your bag. I’ll run 43 and tell them to wait for you.” I took her bag and started running again. I 44 onto the plane and told a flight attendant that one more passenger was behind me and to please 45 the plane for her. I 46 myself with her bag, and a few moments later she arrived and was the last person on the plane 47 they closed the doors and 48 . After the plane leveled off, I 49 the bag to her, and she smiled at me and thanked me.
I didn’t sleep a wink in the hotel and arrived at the 50 at seven o’clock in the morning. The 51 kept me waiting for an hour in a room. I walked into the boardroom and was initially frightened by all the 52 in their robes. As I slowly 53 at the faces of all the board members, I noticed the bright face of a woman. She gave me a smile 54 a young schoolgirl. It was the same woman whose bag I had carried ahead the night before. 55 , whenever I made a mistake on any questions, she did a great job of relaxing me.
