One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept 【小题1】 (walk) up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, 【小题2】 I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer 【小题3】 , and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically
The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only 【小题4】 (look) up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in plete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived 【小题5】 than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my pany. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone 【小题6】 (share) his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“ 【小题7】 ’s your turn,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to
【小题8】 person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listenswalking

(答案→)walking
解析：文章介绍作者和一个有心理问题的男孩David的故事，作者通过和David下象棋，分担他的痛苦走入了他的心灵，使他有了很大的改变，步入正常的生活轨道。
【小题1】句意：他一直不安的走来走去。Keep doing一直做…，填walking
【小题2】考查连词：这是男孩班主任写给作者的：男孩很悲伤，拒绝和任何人说话，我很担心他，是并列关系：用and
【小题3】句意：有一些问题是心理学不能给出答案的，problem是先行词，后面是定语从句，定语从句中problem做宾语，而the answer 后面缺少介词to，problem就是to的宾语，the answer to the problem问题的答案。
【小题4】考查现在分词做伴随状语：男孩坐在那里只是抬头看着我身后墙上的画。用现在分词做状语：looking
【小题5】从后面的句子： It seemed as if he enjoyed my pany.可知男孩喜欢和作者下象棋，所以会比约定的要早到，和than搭配，用比较级：earlier
【小题6】考查不定式，可能他就是需要人和他一起分享痛苦。这里to share做定语修饰someone
【小题7】考查句型：It‘s one’s turn。该到某人了。
【小题8】我了解到一个人不用说任何话可以触及另外一个人的心理。One和another搭配。
