Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty­four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

　　No more angry shouts and no more horns!

　　When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

　　Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

　　【语篇解读】 作者通过自己的经历告诉我们：生活中，有时我们要表现得坚强、勇敢，但是更多的时候我们不需要这样——当我们遇到问题时，不需要故作坚强，要让他人了解我们的处境，并接受他人的帮助。

　　21．The author feels sad sometimes because________.
