Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to _16_ up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was _17_ the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to _18_ all his time lying on his back in bed.
Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he _19_ pass the time by describing to his _20 all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooks a _21_ with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans play on the water _22_ children sail their model boats. Young lovers walk _23_ among flowers of every colour. Grand old trees grace(装扮) the landscape, and a fine _24_ of the city skyline can be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window _25_ all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and _26_ the scene.
Days and weeks passed. On morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died _27_ in his sleep. When the man’s body was _28_, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the _29_. The nurse agreed and after making sure he was _30_, she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself _31_ to take his first look at the _32_ world outside by himself. But to his _33_, he found it faced nothing _34_ a blank wall.
In fact, the man by the window was _35_ and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate.

Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to 46 in his bed for an hour each afternoon for treatment. His 47 was next to the room's only window. The other man 48 spend all his time flat on his back. Every 49 when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he 50 pass the time by describing(描述) to his 51 all the things he could see outside the window. The window overlooked（远眺） a 52 with a lovely lake. Ducks played on the water while children 53 their model boats. Young lovers walked 54 among flowers. As the man by the window described all this beautifully, the other man would close his eyes and 55 the scene.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the 56 body of the man by the window, who had died 57 in his sleep. She was sad and 58 the hospital attendants (服务员) to take the body away. 59 it seemed appropriate (合适的), the other man asked if he could 60 next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch（调换）, and after 61 he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he sat up to take his 62 look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the 63 of seeing it for himself. He strained (紧张地) to slowly turn to 64 the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have forced his dead roommate to 65 those wonderful things outside this window. The nurse answered that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”
