Question

She 4        the gate number again and again. She got a little louder each time she did that. Many people snickered (窃笑) because she was nearly 5        and thought how silly old people could be.

Then I noticed her        was becoming increasingly frantic (发狂似的) as she tried to understand the person on the other end of the phone. It was almost my 9      to board.

I'll tell you what tlie person is 15      . ”She looked at me and agreed 16        I took the phone from her 17        who I was listened for a moment and told the woman her hus?band was 18        her outside the airport as he could not enter the gate area.

Finally I pointed her in the right 19      . it took me less than two minutes to finish the task but my 20      in having been able to help her remains strong.
