Question

    One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in England, an adolescent boy showed up in the waiting room. I went out there where he was _______up and down restlessly.

Tim wore a black raincoat that was_____ all the way up to his neck. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing（扭）his hands nervously. He had _________his father as a baby, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident. Now he was fourteen and in family care.

I looked at Tim. He was very ______and depressed. He refused to talk to me. The first two times we _______, Tim only sat hunched up （蜷缩） in the chair without saying a word.

“Come back next week, if you like, ”I said. I ____ a bit. Then I said, “I know it hurts. ”

He came, and I _____ we play chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon in _______and without making any eye contact. It's not easy for me to _______ in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even got a（n） ______ to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my ______. But why did he ______look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his _______with, ”I thought.

One afternoon. Tim took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While he was setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more ________and his motions more lively.

Some months later, I sat staring at Tim's head, _____he was bent over the chessboard. I was thinking about how little we knew about the healing process. ______, he looked up at me. “It's your _______ ,” he said.

After that day, Tim started talking.
