8、Nobody likes to travel as  36   as I do, On business or for pleasure, 37   foot or by boat, I am ready to go 38   any time, But recently I was sitting in a railway station and complaining about the day 39   I left home.

       The  40   was simple, I had just found out that my train would be three hours  41  . I love traveling  42   I hate waiting!

       Suddenly I had  43  . Why  44   take a bus instead? I was about to hurry out of the train station  45   a well-dressed old man took me  46   the arm.

       “Young lady,” said the gentleman, “47   you find out the timetable before you rush to catch the  48   ?”

       I stared at 49   with my mouth open. 50   did he read my mind? Before I could say 51   , he smiled and added, “You are  52   how I knew about your plan? You see, my train is 53   running late, The same idea came to me.. But I have learned that it is not good for you to be  54   clever when you are traveling, shall I 55   you how I learned my lesson? By the time you know it, your train will be here.”

       “Okay,” I sat down.
