We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we've become used to suddenly disappears. __1__, for example, the neatly- dressed woman I __2__ to see -- or look at -- on my way to work each morning.

　　     For three years, no matter __3__ the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On __4__ days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime __5__ out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. __6__, she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I __7__ all this only after she was seen no more.

Now that she was gone, I felt I had __12__ her. I began to realize that part of our __13__ life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar __14__: the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who __15__ walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are __16__ markers in our eyes. They add weight to our __17__ of place and belonging.

　　Think about it. __18__, while walking to work, we mark where we are by __19__ a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though __20__, person?
