Then after about half an hour, some people started speaking to 3. themselves and looking around. I noticed they were starting to get a bit angry—the train still didn't move. The longer the train stood, the 4. more people got angry. Finally we heard “Sorry to announce that we are going to be here for a long time.”.
There was a loud groan (叹气声) in the train, but then something unexpected 5. happened. Complete strangers started talking to one another. At first, everyone just complained about the train, but then people started talking about their own life. A young 6. visitor came to me. He was travelling here. I introduced some places he should visit. He felt pleased and seemed 7. to forget the problem that he had to wait on the train. Next, I started a conversation with a businesswoman. It was wonderful to talk to her. I was really 8. surprised to find I had been wrong all my life—business people are a lot cooler than I thought. There is so much more to her than a suit. Every weekend, she 9. spends her time in climbing mountains. She even dreams of climbing Mount Qomolangma. While we were talking, a woman returned from helping someone sick in another part of the train. She 10. was welcomed as a hero by all of the people.
Then, after two and a half hours, we started moving again. Everyone cheered and some people, complete strangers three hours ago, even hugged.
