Question

In the dining room of my grandfather’s house stood a massive grandfather clock. Meals in that dining room were a time for three1to become one. The table was always spread with2containing love as the main ingredient (成分). And that grandfather clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the3that was a part of our lives.
As a child, the old clock fascinated me. I4and listened to it during meals. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s ritual (老习惯). He wound (上发条) that clock with a(n)5key carefully each day. I remember watching6my grandfather took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the clock. He inserted the key and wound — not too much, nor too7. He never let that clock wind down and8. He showed us grandchildren how to open the door and let us each take9winding the key.
After my grandfather died, it was days after the funeral10I remembered the clock! The tears11freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there quiet.
Some time later, my grandmother gave me the key. The old house was12. No laughter over the dinner table, no ticking or chiming of the13— all was still. I took the key in my shaking hand and14the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a15again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and blue eyes. He was there,16at me, at the secret of the clock's magic, at the key that held so much power.
I stood there, 17in thought for a long time. Then slowly and 18I inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my19. With the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather20again.
