题目内容
11.At 23,I was fresh out of graduate school and working in a nursing home,trying to decide my next path in life.My job involved wheeling residents(居民) to the community hall for activities.Elizabeth would wave from her darkened room but refuse to join the gatherings.Nearly blind,and requiring oxygen,she never left her bedside.I soon learned,though,that she loved books,and every day after work I would read to her.In dim(微暗的) light we made our way through"King Lear,""Henry IV,""Jane Eyre,"the poems of Rupert Brooke.
Two golden hours might pass before I'd pack up to return to my apartment.Before I could leave she'd press my hand,saying,"Child-my literary child.You bring me such joy."Elizabeth'husband died a decade earlier,and their only child,a daughter,was distant for what heartbreaking reason I never knew.
One day an old friend of hers visited and brought her some soup.Smiling broadly,Elizabeth squeezed my arm."Tomorrow,child,we shall feast."
The next evening I found Elizabeth's bed empty."I'm sorry,"the nurse whispered.She handed me a box and nodded."She left everything to you."at home,I unpacked it,finding two white sweaters,the dozen leather-bound books and,at the bottom,the can of soup.
That summer I decided my path.I returned to school to study literature.
And for 26 years the soup has stayed in my kitchen.It's remained unopened and now is rusted(生锈的).But the memories are preserved.
