Two men, Alan and Henry, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.

One warm afternoon Alan described a parade passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, a strange thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---and that thought now controlled his life.

Late one night, as he lay looking at the top of the room. Alan began to cough. He was choking(窒息的). Henry watched in the dark room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence---deathly silence.

As soon as it seemed suitable, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch(交换)and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.

Hi, I’m Tina. I’m an office worker in a downtown(城区市中心) office. I live on a small island, so I take a boat from the island（岛）to the city every day. The boat leaves every 20 minutes and it takes about 35 minutes to get to the city. Then I have a short walk to my office. Sometimes when the weather is bad, I can’t get to work on time by boat.

My name is Sarah and I’m a teacher. I take the train to work every day. The train is quick and cheap, and there are hardly any delays(延迟). The trains run every half an hour and run until 00:30. The train station is near my home. It only takes 20 minutes from my home to school.

Hello, I’m Maria and I’m a college student(大学生). I live in the college. The college is very big, so I usually walk a lot. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to get from one building（楼房）to the next. When I want to shop with my friends outside the college, we take a bus. The buses stop running after 10:00 pm. So if we come back after that time, we have to take a taxi.
