B

One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when ayoung woman jumped on. She had a child with her

who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.

The bus was full, bumpy, and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn’t sit next to his

mother. There were a couple of open seats, but they weren’t together. She wasflusteredand looked embarrassed.

Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together. The

mom smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older woman’s mouth that elevated the entire

energy of that bus ride: “I’ve been there”.

Simple, undramatic and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite people. Why? Because almost all

experiences are shared human experiences. We forget that, as we forge (前进) through life, focused onour own

troubles and needs—which are actually less unique than we think. How can these three words create more

connection in your life? Ask yourself: “Where am I holding back?

One thing I know for sure is this: Healing others helps heal yourself. I noticed this recently with my friend,

Tracy, who took a new friend who had suffered a miscarriage under her wing. Tracy had three of them before

having her daughter two years ago. Our intellect needs a doctor to explain the medical side of things, yes. But our

souls need human connection to help us along. No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly

where you are.

Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as

volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that

someone’s uncomfortable—because we’re all in this together. 4. The underlined word “flustered” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.

A. angry B. anxious C.scared D. upset

5. What does the woman mean by saying “ I’ve been there”in the third paragraph？

A. The woman was on the bus and saw what had happened to the boy.

B. The woman got to her destination and was ready to get off the bus.
