第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
Even though my grandfather was a farmer, my grandmother would iron(熨烫) his work clothes every day.

I    22    her do this through my childhood.I thought every old woman in the world did it. But as the years passed, I began to   23   this practice.Why did grandfather need his work clothes    24  ? Most days, he never met anyone but me and a few other farmers.
One day I asked grandma about it. She told me that grandpa was the most   25   man in the world, and he was the   26   of her life.
Later that day, I looked  closely  at grandpa.He sure didn't look all that handsome to me.He was a short and skinny man. His hair was   27    on top,and his false teeth didn't line up very well when he smiled.So I   28    grandma about it again. I informed her I had observed grandpa.She    29    and said, “You just aren't viewing things from the  right  perspective (角度). Those eye wrinkles haven't always been there.He has beautiful blue eyes.” She    30  , “I want him to feel beautiful. I iron his clothes every day   31   he has made me feel beautiful for all these years. He is a man worthy of   32  .” I heard what she said and was still puzzled.How could this old woman think that an old man with false   33   was beautiful?
The years went on, and I watched grandma and grandpa grow old together. I   34    knew what beauty really was—it was grandma ironing grandpa's pants. I was ashamed and decided to   35   the question I had asked.
