2$. I saw their bodies, but I couldn't feel their souls (灵魂) because they belonged to the $
3$.
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to a corner, I saw a thin, small man $
4$ in front of an old computer. “I'm Sam,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I $

15$ Sam didn't notice there was a person next to him.
