Passage 47

(浙江省东阳中学2010届高三上学期期中考试)

It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that　 21　 my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a　 22　 sent to me by a fellow I was dating ---a dozen red roses.

As I was cleaning my room, our receptionist came and said there was a(n)　 23　 in the front office that urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped　 24　 , I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with 　25　 　in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband---a prisoner--- was my next 　26　 . The guards were made to bring him to the office that afternoon. She told me she wasn’t　 27　 to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her　 28　 was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his　 29　 . I agreed. 　　30　 , it was Christmas Eve.

A short time later, her husband arrived and two armed guards followed him. The woman’s　 __31　 face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept looking out to watch them laugh,　 32　 , and share their child.

After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to me. While I worked, the guards stood just outside my door. The patient seemed like a　 33　 and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as　 34　 as possible.

At the end o f the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas---a difficult thing to say to a man　 35　 　to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt　 36　 by the fact he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was 　37　 　with a wonderful idea.

I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the 　38　 give his wife the beautiful roses. I’m not sure who experienced the most　 39　 ---the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the　 40　 to share in this special moment.
