18．One afternoon，I went into an art museum while waiting for my husband．I hoped to enjoy the works of art quietly．
    A young couple walked in front of me and talked （61）aboutthe paintings between themselves all the time．The lady did almost all the talking，but the man kept listening to her．I thought the man was
very patient （62）becausenobody would like to be bothered （打扰） while enjoying the paintings．
    I met them several （63）timesas I moved through the different rooms of the art museum．Each time I heard her talking，I moved （64）awayquickly．
     I was （65）payingfor some gifts at the museum shop when the couple walked slowly to the exit （出口）．Before they left，the man （66）tookout a cane （拐杖）．Then he tapped （轻敲） his way to the coatroom to （67）getthe jacket for his wife．
"He is a brave man，"the worker of the shop said．"He decided not to change his life after his eyes
got hurt．Though he is （68）blindnow，he never gives up．He and his wife come here whenever there is a new art show．"
"But what can he get out of the art？He can't see!"I asked．
"You are wrong．He （69）seesa lot，more than you and I do．"The worker said，"His wife describes （70）every/eachpainting so he can see it in his mind．"
    I fell silent．Then I realized that I learnt something about patience，courage and love that day．
