A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling

  Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables.In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me.I could see that he hadn’t long to   1  , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.

  “Frank!” I cried in astonishment.He couldn’t   2  , as I knew, but all the time   3   his foot against mine.

  My   4   raced back more than thirty years to the   5   days of 1941, when I was a student in London.The   6   was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night.Two of the regulars were Mrs.West and her son Frank.

    7   wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got to   8   each other very well.Frank West   9   me because he wasn’t   10  , not even at birth.His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had   11   of a mind than a baby has.His “  12  ” consisted of rough sounds——sounds of pleasure or anger and   13   more.Mrs.West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank   14   on her entirely.He needed all the   15   of a baby.

  One night a policeman came and told Mrs.West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder.She   16   nearly everything she owned.

  When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the   17   ones.So before we   18   that morning, I stood beside Frank and   19   my right foot against his.They were about the same size.That night, then, I brought a pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank.But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine.After that, his   20   to me was always the same.

解析:

(1)

上文的“incurables”表明这位老人是不治之症患者,当然存活的时间不会太长。

(3)

由46空白上下文暗示可知,将37岁的Frank与一个婴儿的智力进行比较,说明Frank的智力肯定不正常。因先天性智力低下,他不能用语言回答别人的问话,但内心有一定的反应,因此一见到我便将右脚靠着我的右脚以示问候,第一节最后一句和最后一小节的上下文暗示也能说明这一点。

(4)

Frank的这一举动使我的记忆一下子回到了30年前。

(5)

下文交代30年前作者的生活,当时他只能住在防空洞中,生活一定很苦,这样的岁月当然是黑暗的岁月。

(6)

作者回忆30年前的生活,头脑中出现了防空洞的情景。

(8)

在战争问题上由于拥有共同的话题,我们这些防空洞居住者逐渐了解了对方。

(10)

一个37岁的人智力却不正常,这一现象逐渐引起了我的注意。

(11)

尽管Frank已经37岁,但智力还不如一个婴儿。

(13)

他的讲话仅体现了内心的快乐和愤怒,没有更多实在的内容。

(15)

West夫人不得不强壮而又有能力,因为Frank完全依靠于她,他需要婴儿般的全部照料。

(16)

她几乎失去了一切。

(17)

West夫人遭受这么大的损失,我们只好尽力帮助这不幸的一家人。

(20)

那天早上临走前,我站在Frank身边,将我的右脚靠着Frank的右脚以便量出他脚的大小,目的是为他买一双鞋子。哪知Frank将我的这一动作看成是问候的表现,从此他就用这一动作来问候我,这就有了本文开头的一幕。

  Paul 9 a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home 10 a big automobile. But Paul was wrong 11 . “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.

  He ran up the steps. Then in a little 12 Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残废的) 13 . He sat him down on the bottom step and pointed to the car.

  Paul got 19 and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The 20 older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he had said:“It is more blessed to give…”

A Beautiful Dress

  My neighbor's eight-year-old daughter used to live in the countryside, her native place.Recently her parents   1   her to town to live with them.Wild and uneducated, she would use   2   words when she was angry.Sometimes she went so far as to   3   on the ground, to the   4   of all people around.Her parents tried to   5   her by beating and kicking.However, she became more   6  .Finally they became thoroughly   7   with her.

  One day their next-door   8  , a retired teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very   9  .It immediately caught the girl's   10   and made them shine brightly.

  The girl put on the dress and became quite a   11   person.She no longer acted rudely or hit others.She   12   seldom rolled on the floor.She knew running wild was not   13   for her in a beautiful dress.Since then, the girl had been   14  , neat, and lovely.

  The story set me   15   a lot.Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress   16   somewhere in his or her heart.Only some people are not aware of it,   17   it or take no notice of it.  18   is a powerful force or weapon-that's something   19   by many of us.It can arouse fine qualities that humans are   20   with but have so far hidden somewhere.It has a soul-shaking influence that is indeed unmatched.

You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”

As young as I was ,that statement kept   24   in my ears. I watched as you faced the   25   of completing your studies, staring companies with Dad, while still being a   26   and a Mom if five kids.
