一、完形填空
It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came towards me. In a moment, he disappeared（消失）up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said "To the Tower", and decided to 1 him.
I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was 2 to see the attendant（工作人员）selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the 3 of the other, the blind man reached the stairs leading to the hallway.
"That man can't see. Why would he climb up the tower?" I said to the attendant, expecting him to notice the poor blind man, but he didn't answer.
"Not the 4 certainly," I thought, feeling quite worried up the stairs. "Oh, my God! Perhaps he wants to 5 from the tower."
The man hadn't gone as far as I imagined. A third of the way up the tower, I heard his steps. I slowed down and came after him at a little distance（距离）. He 6 from time to time.
When he got to the balcony, I was many steps 7. As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.
At last, after ten minutes, I got closer to him. "Excuse me, but I am 8 why you came up."
He smiled. "Coming up the 9, you will notice how not just light but sun pours into the tower through the narrow 10 here and there, so that you can feel the 11 the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm and how up here behind the wall there is shade（阴影）, but you can find the 12 as soon as going opposite a window. On the way, I took time to enjoy the fun. There is no 13 so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I've come up."
The blind man seemed quite 14, just like a child who lost himself in his favorite games. He told me the truth that blind men can also find the 15 in life although（尽管）they cannot enjoy the sights of the world.
