　　[2016·衡水中学期末]As a substitute teacher,

　　my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I'm usually unable to anticipate (预料) the day's events, good or bad!

　　On one particular day, I was teaching in a very difficult class. I was managing behavior all the morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee.

　　Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5－minute drive away.

　　I contemplated (考虑)

　　rushing back,

　　but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.

　　So I ran into a McDonald's which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab. I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he empathized. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.

　　The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not been able to request the cab yet. My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.
