One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.

A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband's patience for putting up with (忍受) her continuous talk. Distracted (分心) by their noise, I moved on.

I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous burst of words, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop buying some souvenirs when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended (延長) it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket.

"He's a brave man." The salesman at the counter said, "Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery (恢復) he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show."

"But what dose he get out of the art?" I asked, "He can't see."

"Can't see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do." The salesman said, "His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head."

I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

1.The young couple were at an art museum __________.

2. "...I moved away quickly." in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer __________.

A. was in the hope of visiting more rooms

3.We can infer from the passage that the husband __________.
