Soon it was his turn to be examined. When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him. Then in a   27   he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there. No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is 28   up to the standard.”
“How can you draw such a   29   like that before you give me a 30 check? Jim shouted at the doctor.

Half a year later, Jim was killed on the battlefield. At the news his girlfriend nearly went
37 . She kept weeping. “Don’t be like that, my dear.” It was an old man’s 38   voice. “Your Jim died a real man. He   39 his life to the people all over the world. It is right that we should be proud of him…” Saying this, the old man, her father, was choked(哽咽). His only   40   was that he had never had Jim know who he was.
