Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to　 　_36 　up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was　 　37 　the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to　 　38 　all his time lying on his back in bed.

Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he 　39 　pass the time by describing to his　 　40 　all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooked a　 　41 　with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water 42 　children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked　 　43 　among flowers of every color. Grand old trees graced(使优美) the landscape, and a fine 　44 　of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window　 　45 　all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and　 　46 　the scene.

Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died　 　47 　in his sleep. When the man’s body was　 　48 , the other man asked if he could be moved next to the 　49 . The nurse agreed and after making sure he was　 　50 , she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself　 　51 　to take his first look at the　 　52 　world outside by himself. But to his　 　53 , he found it faced nothing　 　_54 　a blank wall.

In fact the man by the window was　 　55 　and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate.
