The sun was shinning when I got on No.151 bus. We passengers sat jammed together in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That's one of the 　　41　 　rules. 　　42　 　we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 　　43　 　behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin 　　44　 　of newsprint to keep their 　　45　 .

　As the bus came near the Mile, a 　　46　 　suddenly rang out, " 　　47　 ! This is your driver speaking." 　　48　 . We looked at the back of the driver 's head. "Put your papers down. All of you." The 　　49　 　came down. "Now , turn and face the person next to you. Go 　　50　 ."

　Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped 　　51　 　a red scarf. I saw her 　　52　 　every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next 　　53　 　from the driver. "Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!"

　Our voices were 　　54　 . For many of us, these were the 　　55　 　words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 　　56　 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn't help 　　57　 . There was the feeling of relief(解脱), that we were not being 　　58　 . But more, there was the sense of ice being 　　59　 　"Good morning, neighbor." It was not so 　60　 　after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, many laughed.

　The bus driver said nothing more. He didn't 　　61　 　to. Not a single newspaper went 　　62　 . I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in 　　63　 .

　When I reached my stop, I said 　　64　 　to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day was 　　65　 　off better than most.
