北师大版高中英语模块5--Unit 13 People Lesson4-2

[00:00.00]In fact,I'm surprised
[00:02.24]there wasn't steam coming out of my ears!
[00:05.77]I grabbed¹ my books,frowned angrily at her
[00:08.48]and whispered loudly
[00:09.43]in the meanest voice I could,
[00:11.22]"Thanks to your noise,
[00:12.31]I've been unabled to study.
[00:13.83]You're so selfish!"
[00:16.48]I still shudder² when I think of that moment.
[00:19.48]Let me tell you the rest of the story though.
[00:23.18]Because I left the library in such a hurry,
[00:25.63]I left my most important textbook behind.
[00:29.38]It was only when I got home two hours later
[00:31.73]that I realized I'd forgotten it,
[00:33.89]and there was nothing I could do
[00:35.48]as the library was closed.
[00:38.37]I was so frustrated³ that I almost cried.
[00:42.21]Just then,the phone rang.
[00:44.36]I answered it and a gentle voice
[00:46.12]introduced the speaker as Jenny,
[00:48.16]and asked if I was Jane.
[00:50.99]After confirming that I was,
[00:53.00]Jenny said that she had noticed I'd left my book
[00:55.17]in the library,and as my name was in it,
[00:58.08]she'd asked a librarian to get my phone number
[01:00.51]from their files.
[01:03.14]She said that she didn't live far away
[01:04.88]and could bring it around for me if I needed it
[01:09.13]I was incrdelibly relieved⁴ and greateful,
[01:11.20]and I agreed to meet her
[01:12.19]at the convenience store down the road.
