On a sunny day, I visited an art museum alone. I was expecting a ________ view of the artworks and a relaxing afternoon. As I was appreciating the paintings, a young couple ahead of me were ________ endlessly. I watched them for a moment and ________ that the lady was doing all the talking. How did the man ________ her constant stream of words? ________ by their noise, I moved on.

I met them several times ________ I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away ________. But I met them again at the ________ shop. I bought some souvenirs and was waiting at the checkout while the couple were ________ the doorway. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He lengthened (使变长) it into a long ________ and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket.

“He's a(n) ________ man,” the clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give ________ if we suddenly became blind at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a ________ that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there is a new art show.”

“But what does he ________ out of the art?” I asked. “He can't see.”

“Can't see? You are ________. He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said, “His wife ________ each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I was touched and also learned something about patience, ________ and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without ________. I saw the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to ________ his life. And I saw the love ________ by two people as I watched this couple walk away, arm in arm.
