One day while I was w 小题1:     on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing(轻擦) against my handbag. He continued his way, but turned b 小题2:      and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t f 小题3:    to say “sorry”. One day, after I bought some bananas, the shopkeeper was passing me the change, but I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped onto the ground. “Sorry, Madam,” he said w 小题4:     bending to pick it up. I was s 小题5:    why he said “sorry” to me. Another time, I stepped on a man’s f 小题6:     at the entrance to a cinema. At the same time, we b 小题7:    said “sorry”.
