Most people need to hear “I love you”. Once in a while, they hear them just 41 . I met Connie the day she was 42 to the hospice ward (病房) ,where I worked as a 43 . Her husband, Bill, stood nervous nearby as she was 44 to the hospital bed. While Connie was in the final 45 of her fight against cancer, she was 46 . Connie was a 47 . As we became acquainted , she confided (吐露) how 48 it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman”. “I know Bill loves me. “she said.” But he has never been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me.

I already knew Connie had 54 at 11 a.m. When I saw Bill. his face was wet with 55 and he was 56 . He said, “I have to say how good I feel about telling her. He stopped to 57 his nose. “This morning I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her. You 58 have seen her smile!” I went into the room to say goodbye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine 59 from Bill, 60 : “To my wonderful wife…I love you.” 41.A. on time B. at times C. in time D. behind time 42.A. allowed B. admitted C. committed D. acknowledged 43.A. nurse B. cleaner C. doctor D. volunteer 44.A. translated B. transferred C. transformed D. transported 45.A. step B. stage C. state D. stair 46.A. anxious B. worried C. frightened D. cheerful 47.A. reminder B. performer C. romantic D. hostess 48.A. disturbing B. shocking C. annoying D. frustrating 49.A. nature B. mind C.1ife D. style 50.A. sleeping B. yawning C. waking D. crying 51.A. lesson B. subject C. point D. focus 52.A. shown B. explained C. expressed D. meant 53.A. on B. by C. against D. over 54.A. passed by B. passed on C. passed down D. passed away 55.A. sweat B. rain C. tears D. water 56.A. struggling B. trembling C. sighing D. sinking 57.A. blow B. touch C. scratch D. rub 58.A. would B. could C. might D. should 59.A. card B. gift C. paper D. package 60.A. telling B. reading C. writing D. announcing
