　　A young couple were watching the paintings in front of me and chatting 　　1　　 each other without stop．I watched them for a moment and 　　2　　 the man's wife was doing all the talking．I was surprised to see that the man was so patient and could stand(忍受)his wife's 　　3　　 , but I still moved on．

　　I met them several times 　　4　　 I moved through the different rooms of art．Each time I heard she continued talking about paintings, I moved away 　　5　　．

　　I was 　　6　　 some gifts in the museum shop when the couple came near to the gate．Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out something brown．He turned it into a long stick and then tapped(轻敲)his way into the coatroom to get his wife's 　　7　　．

　　“He's a 　　8　　 man, ” the clerk(店员)said．“Most of us would 　　9　　 if we were blind at such a young age．During his treatment, he made a promise that his life wouldn't 　　10　　．So, as before, he and his wife come in 　　11　　 there's a new art show．”

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