四、完形填空
Melissa wondered what was wrong with Grandma. She was always ______ things. Mother told her that Grandma might have Alzheimer's (老年痴呆症), and that the family planned to send her to an old people's nursing home.
“Oh, no! That's terrible! She'll ______ her own little room, won't she?” Melissa didn't like the idea at all. But she could do nothing but pay Grandma a visit now and then in the nursing home.
The first time they went to the nursing home, Melissa wanted to ______. Grandma sat all by herself in her room. “Look, we brought you a ______—your favorite, strawberry ice cream!” Melissa said. Grandma took the ice cream and began eating. Melissa felt very ______ because Grandma didn't seem to know her. Mother said Grandma needed more time as she was in a new place.
However, the ______ thing happened the next time. Grandma ate the ice cream and smiled at them, but she didn't say anything. “Grandma, do you know who I am?” Melissa asked. “You're the girl who brings me the ice cream.” Grandma said. “Yes, but I'm Melissa, too, your granddaughter! Don't you remember me?” she asked, putting her arms ______ the old lady. Grandma smiled, “Remember? Sure. You're the girl who brings me the ice cream.” ______ Melissa realized that Grandma would never remember her. Grandma was living in a world all her own with shadowy (模糊的) memories and ______.
“Oh, how I love you, Grandma!” she said.
Just then she saw a tear run down Grandma's face. “Love,” she said. “I remember love.”
Melissa ______ would bring Grandma an ice cream every weekend. And she would give her a hug though (尽管) she didn't remember her—after all, it was more important to remember love rather than someone's name.
