I heard the cleaning lady’s voice and asked for help as  33  as I could, However, she wasn't exactly a thoughtful person, and started  34 ：“Diana’s locked in the bathroom!”Shame had fallen upon me!  35  , the course director, the secretary and some teachers were outside the bathroom trying to get me out, and,  36  ,my students gathered outside too, happily saying things like“Aren’t we  37 ! No test today!”All I could do was 38  , and my entire  39  was waiting for me outside, naughty smiles on their faces.“ 40 ！Teacher.”They said,“We know you are human too!”
