Question

Five and a half years ago my father was suddenly rushed to the hospital for an operation. We had  21  idea that he was seriously ill until we were told that the operation did not go well.

Due to the laws of our state, we were  23  to keep him on a ventilator(呼吸器) for 72 hours, though it was   24    his wish that medical treatment should stop if he was too ill.

At the end of the next day, I was    25   in the waiting room and watching others walk their fathers around who had had operations. Normally, I am very happy for others that are 26  . But that evening, I guess I was a little   27  because I finally realized I would never be  28   to hold my father’s hand and walk down the hall again.

I had to jump up and run down the hall to   29  everyone. This was not in my nature but I just had to be alone. After running for what seemed like a long time, I went into a restroom and       30   for at least five minutes.

She held onto me until I   34  stopped crying. Then she grabbed a paper towel, wet it   35   handed it to me. She looked at me, smiling, and then left. She never said one word but she   36  my heart.

She taught me that you do not  37   to be a conversationalist to  38  someone who is hurt. Never    39  to hug someone who may need it. You can make a  40   in someone’s life without ever saying a word.

Answer 1

【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者在得知父亲病重且康复机率微小后流露出了难过和惋惜之情，他飞奔过医院的过道跑进厕所大声痛哭了一会儿。当他走出厕所侧间去水槽处洗脸时，一位陌生人拥抱了他一下，并递给他一块湿巾。陌生人始终微笑着看着他，之后离开了。陌生人的这样一个温情的举动深深触动着他，并使他明白了“无需语言，一个细小的行动也足以影响人的一生”的人生真谛。文章蕴藏人性，富含哲理，具有较强的教育意义。
