完形填空 I'd meant to go to Miros that day．I'd packed my bag and was ready．The motorboat 1 on time．The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn't too strong for the two－hour 2．I stood at my window, staring at the boat．Then I lost 3 of her, for an old lighthouse partly blocked my view of the harbour．A dozen passengers were 4 their way there．I was about to join them when a man's face 5 at the lighthouse window． This was strange, because the lighthouse had been empty, unused and 6 for thirty years．It was still stranger because I'd seen that face before．I couldn't think of it but it was, 7 had once been familiar to me．I opened my window and 8 across． “I know we’ve met before, but I can't remember where．” I 9 him to open his if he could and answer me．He did neither．The face behind the glass 10 still．Seeing him more 11 now, I knew he was not looking at me．He seemed to be looking upwards, at the clouds．How well I'd known that face, sometime, somewhere． I 12 again, “We met years ago．Was it in Athens in the 1950s?
