I was late, as usual. A friend of mine had invited me to a conference, and I had been in the parking lot for a good fifteen minutes. My mind was1. Was my husband able to find the  2  I laid out for the kids? Did the kids eat breakfast? More importantly, would he have enough 3to look for a parking spot in this jungle of cars in order to meet me here with the   4    later on?

         As I was 5 the plan in my mind, I saw a parking space. Since there was not much   6 , I decided to back up my giant truck between the two white lines so that leaving would be   7after the conference ended.

         As I adjusted the 8 of my truck and started reversing(倒车)，another car came out of nowhere and 9 to take my parking spot. I signalled to the 10 that I was about to back up into the space, but she squeezed by me and 11 her SUV in my spot! I couldn't believe how rude she was! It made me so 12 that I got out of my car and stared at the lady. By the way she was dressed, I could 13 she was on her way to the conference.

         I 14at her, “That was not very angelic behaviour！”

         Much to my surprise, she completely 15 me, and I stormed off.

         After a few minutes, I found   16  parking space…behind a smelly dustbin and about a mile away from the conference. Once I  17  myself down and tried to view the matter from a(n)  18angle, the possibility entered my mind that the woman may have needed the spot 19I did.

         Later, I noticed she was actually one of the vendors(销售商) at the conference. She must have been20 to get there quickly in order to set up her booth and display her merchandise.
