第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)

Many years ago, my dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He was unable to work at 　a(n) 36 　　job. He would be fine for quite a while, but would then fall suddenly 　37 　and have to be admitted to the hospital.

He wanted to do something to keep himself 　38 , so he decided to volunteer at the local children 39 . My dad loved kids. He would talk to them and play with them. Sometimes, he would 　40 　one of his kids. In certain instances, he would give 　41 　to the sad parents of these children.

One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with a 　42 　disease that paralyzed (使……瘫痪) her from the neck down. I don’t know the 　43 　of the disease, but I do know that it was very sad for a little girl. My dad decided to try to help her. He started 　44 　her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up 　45 　a backing, but the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. Only his 　46 　would move. He would visit her 　47 　he could and paint for her. All the while he would tell her, “see, you can do 　48 　you set your mind to”.

At the bottom it read, “thank you for helping me walk.”

Sometimes love is more 　55 　than doctors, and my dad - who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture - loved every single child in that hospital.
