She arrived at her gate, sat down and started reading her 4. She was so focused on her book that she didn't 5 what was going on around her. But she did see that a man had sat down 6 her and taken one of her cookies out of the bag.
She 7 not to notice, as she didn't want to make a scene. But then the man took more. He kept eating the cookies until there was just one left. The man took the 8 cookie and broke it in half. He tapped(轻拍)the woman on the shoulder and held out one half to her. The woman could not believe how much nerve(冒昧)this man had to 9 all of her cookies and then offer half a cookie in return. She angrily grabbed(夺取)the halfcookie out of his hand and ate it.
Finally, it was time for her to board. But as she went to the gate, she 10 that her bag of cookies was still in her purse. The man had been eating his own cookies the whole time and simply wanted to share the last one with her. The woman blushed(脸红). She sincerely wanted to apologize to the man for her rudeness.
When we're not paying attention to the world around us, it can be easy to misunderstand what's happening or even become angry with others. It is better to keep our eyes open and think about every possibility when trying to understand a particular situation.
