阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。）
I was on a bus one March evening. The driver didn’t   41   to start the bus soon because it was not yet    42    . A middle-aged woman got on. Tired and sad, she told her story   43   not to anyone in particular. On her way to the station, half of her    44    was stolen. The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she   45   still had some left. A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked    46   .
When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect fares(车费). When she came to an old man in worn-out（破旧的）clothes, he    47   that he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home. On hearing this, she ordered the old man to   48    the bus. The old man was almost in tears as he    49    her to let him take the bus home. The driver took the conductor’s side(站在某人一边) and repeated the conductor’s    50    .
The woman was watching the incident.   51    t he driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man, she interfered(干预).
“Stop   52   him! Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”
“He doesn’t have any money! ” the driver    53   .
“Well, that’s no    54   to throw him off the bus,” she insisted.
Then she reached inside her blouse, look out her    55    money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here’s his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a    56  time.”
All heads turned to the woman. “It’s only money,” she shrugged（耸肩）.
She rode the rest of the way home   57 a happy smile, with the money she’d lost earlier  58   .
On the road of life, the help of strangers can   59  our loads（负担）and lift our spirits. How much sweeter the   60   will be when we make it a little smoother for others!
