He was sitting in his armchair in the front room. I sat next to him. We were reading aloud, our heads bent over the
17、 page in front of us, a finger marking the words; separated by seven decades, brought together by words. Its a common scene in British families; however, in our case, the usual order of things is reversed(颠倒)。 Granddad had been blind since I was tiny, so I was reading to him. When reading aloud, peo

21、 In the school holidays, I sometimes accompanied him on trips to the seaside with the local association for the blind.

25、nforgettable experience in a nursing homeBMost people believe that fish only eat and swim. But, if youve ever had the opportunity to meet an Oscar fish you probably know better than that.Oscars have become a popular fish species in recent years since theyre known to recognize their owners. They can
26、have a trusting nature within them, which is seen in some Oscars who will affectionately rub against their owners arm when they perform tank maintenance.Oscars create a bond with their owners, and they are probably going to let you pet them at some point of the relationship.

30、ars temperament, since each of them has a distinct personality.The Oscar is known to grow up to 12-18 inches long, so it requires a large tank. Each Oscar requires about 80-100 gallons of water in the tank, so be prepared to move them to a larger tank as they get older. Oscars can be as sweet as pup
