One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”  Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
【小题1】The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.

A．a friend who is ill	B．a man working at his desk
C．a person having lost a close friend	D．a stranger who looks somewhat worried

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room. I went out there where he was  36up and down restlessly.

Tim wore a black raincoat that was   37   all the way up to his neck. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing （扭） his hands nervously. He had   38   his father as a baby, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident.

I looked at Tim. He was very   39   and depressed （in low spirits）. He refused to talk to me. The first two times we   40  , Tim only sat hunched up （蜷缩） in the chair without saying a word. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't ___41   back, but he didn't look at me either.

"Come back next week, if you like,” I said. I   42    a bit. Then I said, "I know it hurts.”

He came, and I ____43____we play chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon―in   44   and without making any eye contact. It's not easy for me to 45   in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even got a（n）  46  to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my   47  . But why did he   48   look at me?

"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his   49   with," I thought.

One afternoon, Tim took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While he was setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more   50  and his motions more lively.

Some months later, I sat staring at Tim's head,   51   he was bent over the chessboard. I was thinking about how little we knew about the healing （治疗） process.   52  , he looked up at me. "It's your   53  ," he said.

After that day, Tim started talking.

Maybe I gave Tim something, but I learned a lot from him. He showed me how one-without any words―can   54   out to another person. All it   55   is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature―and an ear that listens.
