Two men were staying in the same room in a hospital. One man was so sick that he could not even move his body or look around the room. The other man could move, but was also very ill.
Over time, the two men became good friends. They shared lots of things together and even talked about what they hoped to do after they got better. But there was one thing about the room that was special for both of them. The man who could move would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told him about the people walking by, the weather – anything that might interest a man who had not seen the world beyond his bed for some time.
One day, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that the man who often looked out of the window had died in his sleep. Sadly, she informed the other man that his friend had died and called for nurses to take the dead man away. The other man asked to be moved to the dead man’s bed so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurses moved him to the other bed. However, the man found that there was no window at all － just a blank wall.
The nurses explained that the dead man had been blind. He had never actually seen anything outside the window at all – but he described beautiful scenes to encourage his friend. Sometimes all we need in life is a little encouragement – even if it comes from an unlikely place.
( )1. How did the man who could move encourage his roommate
A. He shared his life experience with his roommate.
B. He described what he saw from a "window".
C. He took his roommate outside.
D. He told jokes to his roommate.
( )2 What do we know about the man who died first
A. He died of cancer. B. He gave the other man hope.
C. He was deaf. D. He was moved elsewhere before he died.
( )3.Clark wanted to move to the bed next to the window because________ .
A. he missed his friend very much B. the bed there was tidier than his
C. he wanted to look at the world outside D. he felt worse and worse
( )4. According to the passage: which of the following is NOT true
A. Dale was blind.
C. Dale tried to help his friend feel better.
B. Dale died in his sleep.
D. The nurse didn't know that Dale was blind.
( )5. What’s the best title of this passage
A. The man who is blind B. Find encouragement in unlikely places
