III. Cloze (20 points)

I’d meant to go to Miros that day. I’d packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat__36__ in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn’t too strong for the two-hour __37__. I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost __38__ of her, an old light-house partly blocked my view of the harbour. A dozen passengers were __39__ their way there. I was about to join them---when a man’s face __40__ at the light-house window.

This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and __41__ for thirty years. It was stranger still---because I’d seen that __42__ before. I couldn’t place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and __43__ across.

“I know we’ve met before, but I can’t remember where.”

I __44__ him to open his if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass __45__ motionless. Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, __46__ the clouds. How well I’d known that face, sometime, somewhere!

I __47__ again. “We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”

He didn’t reply nor give any __48__ that he’d heard. I went back further, to __49__ I was in the navy.” Perhaps we met at sea during the war,” and that thought at once __50__ him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I’d saved his life once. But surely he…

The motor-boat __51__ her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling. __52__. Laughing, I called, “Now I’ve missed her, and it’s your __53__, Commander!’

As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. __54__ minute it was there, looking up. I could see the whites of the eyes. The __55__ it was gone.

Well, I didn’t rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or ’64. But there’s one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.

Nobody wants to appear fat. Many girls who care too much about their self-image(个人形象) choose to eat less food to 26   themselves from gaining weight. Some even take medicine to achieve their goals.

I used to eat   29    a lot, which is said to be high in protein but low in calories. But the moment bird flu   30   out, I stopped eating this kind of meat.

School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat in the very front of the 36 because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting at the front makes you 37 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.

Janie, the driver, tries to break the 38 atmosphere by striking the match of conversation. I try to mind my manners and 39 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 40 , her conversation was worth listening to.

“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 41 . I could see the 42 and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 43 the tears, she responded, “Heart trouble,” her eyes lowered as she 44 , “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”

I couldn’t respond. I was 45 . My heart 46 for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 47 my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to go 48 that. Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t 49 a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as 50 but a driver.

I suddenly felt very 51 . I realized I had only thought of people as 52 as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as 53 .

For all I know, I’m just another person in 54 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 55 not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments to keep. Understanding people is an art.
