Two old men lived in a room on the third floor of an old people’s home.   1   of the men were badly ill, and they spent 24 hours a   2   in bed in the room.

One of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day, he   3  hours telling his friend what he could see through the window. He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park and the birds flying around．The old man far from the window got a lot of  4  from hearing about the world outside, but after a time, he began to get rather unhappy.   5  nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see   6   himself.

    One night, the man by the window called his friend, “Quick! Pull the alarm by your bed—I don’t think I can go through the night!”   7   his friend, expecting an empty bed by the window, did nothing—he just closed his  8   and went back to sleep.

The next morning, the nurse found the man dead in his bed by the window.

    The old man was very   9  as they moved him into the empty bed by the window. He sat up, pulled back the curtain（窗簾）, looked out—but   10  , he saw only a wall.
