where she can

looked

__24_
_ .

all
by

__28_
_ a corner of the room.

brought you a

—

stared at

me. It seems that “Look out” may mean
“Don’t look out”.

shou
t, “All hands on
deck(
甲板
).” I put my hands on
the deck
and someone walked on them.

friend and the servant who came to the door said,
“He’

__30_
_ it, dear!” Mother
said.
“But she doesn’t seem
to know us,” Eleanor was
__31__.
The next time they visited Grandma, it
was __32__. She ate the strawberry ice cream and
smiled at them
but she didn’t say
anything.
“Grandma, do you
know who I am?” Eleanor asked.
“You are
__33_
_
who brings me the ice cream.” Grandma
said.
“Yes, but I’m Eleanor,
too, your granddaughter. Don’t you remember
me?”
Grandma smiled
__34_
_. “Sure I do. You are the girl
who brings me ice cream.”
Suddenly Eleanor realized that Grandma
would __35__ remember her. Grandma was living in a
_36__
of all her own, one of poor
memory and loneliness.
“Oh, how I
__37_
_ you, Grandma!” she
said. Just then,
she saw
__38_
_ on Grandma’s face.
“Love,” she said in a low voice, very
slowly, “I remember love.”

successful actress was the star of a new musical
show. Her home was in the country, but
she didn’t want to have to go back
there every night. So she rented an expensive flat
in the centre of the city,
bought some
beautiful furniture and hired a man to paint the
rooms in new colours.
It was very
difficult to get tickets for her show, because
everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give
the
painter two of the best seats. She
hoped that this would make him work better and

took the
tickets without saying anything, and she heard no
