语法填空
I’ve recently, started working in a unit for people with severe dementia (痴呆). Many have different physical needs as well as complex behavioral problems 【小题1】 a consequence of their dementia. Very few of these patients are able to communicate in any 【小题2】(meaning) way, and most no longer recognize their family. It’s 【小题3】 (possible) not to be touched by this.
A few weeks ago, I sat in a meeting with Mr Radley. His wife 【小题4】(become) a patient for the past four years. She advanced dementia and could be violent, and she frequently screamed, 【小题5】she was unable to speak. She was in her sixties and used to be a costume designer. Her husband sat calmly while we reviewed his wife’s case.
We thought she was getting 【小题6】(bad) than before and still needed continuing care. He spoke about 【小题7】she’d been like before she became ill, but suddenly his voice shook and I realized he was about to cry. After a while, he calmed down and explained: “It’s so hard seeing her now. She’s not there any more. I feel 【小题8】 (particular) guilty about having not taken good care of her.”
His wife was already dead. 【小题9】 person who’d been the love of his life was now gone. We tried to tell him that he should move on and have a new life of his own, 【小题10】 (convince) him to take a trip to relax. The look of relief in his eyes when he realized we understood his pain is one I’ll never forget.
