"This Friday we'll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge," said our science teacher, Mr. Baker. "You can work alone or with a partner."

　 My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects31_.

　 The　 32　　 of the Challenge was simple—to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when　 33　 the stadium wall.

　 I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie.　 34　 the butter cream gave me an idea.

　 "I have a brilliant design for our 　35　　 container!" I said when Cassie arrived. "We can 36　 the egg with some butter cream."

　 "Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute (降落伞)　 37　 ?" Cassie rolled

her eyes, "The parachute is better than that stupid idea."

　 I couldn't believe it. Of course we'd had our little　 38　 in the past, but she'd never called any of my ideas"　 39 "before.

　 "Then I'll build mine and you build yours!"

　 　　40　 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.

　 When Friday finally arrived, I had to　 41　 Cassie's Egg Force One looked pretty good. 42 , my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn't look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived 　 43　 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.

　 After four rounds, only Cassie and I were　　 44　 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say "ew" after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the　 45　 . The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells (蛋壳) from those 　 46　 drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.

　 "That looks like egg drop soup, Laura," Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 47 _ raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket　 48

　 "My egg bounced 　 49 _," she explained, pointing to a broken shell.

　 "A tie （平局)," Mr. Baker said.

We were a motley (混杂的) crowd of people who took the bus every day that summer 33 years ago. During the early morning 　26 , we sat sleepily with our collars up to our ears.

One of the 　27 was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (驼背) and a sad look on his face when he, with some 　28 , boarded the bus and sat down 　29 behind the driver. No one ever paid much attention to him.　　　　　

Then one morning he said good morning to the driver and 　30 down through the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly (谨慎地). The rest of us were 　31 and continued the ride with our collars up to our ears.　　　

The next day, the old man boarded the bus 　32 , smiled and said in a loud voice, “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, 　33 , and murmured (咕哝) “Good morning” in reply.

The following weeks we were more 　34 . He was dressed in a nice old suit and a wide tie and his thin hair had been 　35 combed. He said good morning to us every day and we 　36 began to nod and talk to him.　

One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver 　37 smilingly and asked, “Have a(n) 　38 , Charlie?” He nodded shyly and said yes. We whistled and clapped him. Charlie bowed and 　39 the flowers before he sat down. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. The men started to 　40 with him, talk to each other, and 　41 the newspaper.　　　

The summer went by, and the autumn was closing in 　42 one morning Charlie wasn’t 　43 at his usual stop. He wasn’t there the next day and the day after that. The bus, once filled with 　44 and flowers, 　45 to silence.

Many years have passed by, but I will never forget the old man, who left such an impression on me that summer.
