完形填空
Even
though my grandfather was a farmer, my grandmother would iron(熨烫) his work clothes every day. She would sprinkle (喷洒) grandpa's 1with something, hang them over a chair so
they could dry a bit, and then iron them. I
2 her do this through my childhood. I thought
every old woman in the world did it. But as the years passed, I began to 3 this practice. Why did grandfather need his
work clothes 4? Most days, he never met anyone but me and a few other farmers.
One
day I asked grandma about it. She told me that grandpa was the most 5 man in the world, and he was the 6 of her life.
Later
that day, I looked closely at grandpa. He
sure didn't look all that handsome to me. He was a short and skinny man. His
hair was 7 on top, and his false teeth didn't line up
very well when he smiled. So I8 grandma about it again. I informed her I had
observed grandpa. She 9 and said, "You just aren't viewing
things from the right perspective (角度).
Those eye wrinkles haven't always been there. He has beautiful blue eyes.
" She 10, "I want him to feel beautiful. I
iron his clothes every day 11 he
has made me feel beautiful for all these years. He is a man worthy of 12.
" I heard what she said and was still puzzled. How could this old woman
think that an old man with false 13 was beautiful?
The
years went on, and I watched grandma and grandpa grow old together. I 14 knew what beauty really was—it was grandma
ironing grandpa's pants. I was ashamed and decided to 15 the question I had asked.
