完形填空。

The conversation between   them   2   me deeply.      "Hello Barry. Would you like to   3  some peas home?"      "No, I have no money."      "Well, what do you have to trade me for them?"      "A marble (玻璃弹球)"      "Oh, this is blue. Do you have a(n)   4   one?"      "Yes."      "Take this bag of peas home and next   5   this way let me look at that red marble."      "I'm sure I will.

Each young man stopped, placed his   own   13   hand over the cold pale hand and left,   14   his eyes.      When I told Mrs. Miller who I was and   15   the story about the marbles, she said, "Those three young men were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they   16   the things Jim "traded" them. Now, they came to pay their   17  . We've never had much wealth but right now, Jim would consider himself the   18   man in Idaho."      With loving   19   , she lifted her husband's lifeless fingers, where there were three shiny red   20   .
