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

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

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.
