Therefore, it's possible that in 46 ， it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 - which the Latino will in return regard as 50 _.
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 _.

The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 36 . That’s one of the unwritten rules 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 39 distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 44 every day. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 46 . For many of us, this was the 47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 48 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . To say the three words was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.

There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go. As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the 16 side of this line.

Daughter’s 20 : “No, I’m not interested in that.”
……
Two months ago, she was 21 to a great university. However, I was still the mother having a 22 time letting go.

I examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an) 26 one of the courses I had suggested. Every course she had chosen 27 suited her interests. Just then I saw a mature, capable young woman with a 28 mind and the ability to shape her future. She no longer needed her mother 29 every decision she made. I felt proud, though still a bit 30 .
I 31 the lessons carefully. Nicole has struggled to learn over the past 18 years: 32 , sympathy, and hard work. There have been a few holes along the way. 33 , she is well-equipped and eager to 34 the future. The next step, I recognized, was mine to take: giving my daughter and myself the 35 we both needed.
