完形填空。      The day finally came, when I had to leave the warm home where I"d grown up. I ran to the back yard, as tears came up from my heart. Suddenly I    1  a hand rest on my shoulder. I looked up to    2  my
grandfather. ""It isn"t    3  , is it, Billy?"" he said softly.
Gently     4  my hand in his, we walked, hand in hand, to the front yard,    5  a huge red rose-bush sat alone.
     ""What do you see here, Billy?"" he asked. I looked at the flowers, not knowing    6  to say, and then
answered,""I see something soft and     7  , grandpa.""
     He pulled me    8  . ""It isn"t just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It"s that special place in your heart
that makes them so."" ""Billy, I     9  these roses when my first son was born. It was my    10  of saying
"thank you" to God. I    11  to watch him pick roses for his mother. Then, as a young man of only 20, a
terrible war robbed him of his life."" Grandpa slowly stood up. ""Never say good-bye, Billy. Never    12 
to the sadness and the loneliness. Instead, I want you to remember the joy and the    13  when you first
said hello to a friend.""
     A year later, my grandpa became very    14  . Then all members of the family
were    15  back, and I returned to the old house. When it came to my    16  , I took his hand as    17  as
he had once taken mine.
     ""Hello, grandpa,"" I    18  . His eyes slowly opened and said, ""Hello, my friend."" With a brief    19  he
died. Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had    20  about never saying good-bye - about refusing to give
in to sadness.   (     )1. A. felt
