英语完形填空高中　 A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to ___1___, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.

“Frank!” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t ___2___, as I knew, but all the time ___3___ his foot against mine.

My ___4___ raced back more than thirty years to the ___5___ days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The ___6___ was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.

___7___ wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got to ___8___ each other very well. Frank West ___9___ me because he wasn’t ___10___, not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had ___11___ of a mind than a baby has. His “___12___” consisted of rough sounds——sounds of pleasure or anger and ___13___ more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank ___14___ on her entirely. He needed all the ___15___ of a baby.

One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She ___16___ nearly everything she owned.

When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the ___17___ ones. So before we ___18___ that morning, I stood beside Frank and ___19___ my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that, his ___20___ to me was always the same.
