Question

　　It was New Year's night. An old man was standing by a window. He raised his sad eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the 1 were bright like white flowers in a lake. Then he looked at the earth, where few more hopeless people now moved towards their tombs(坟墓). He had already passed sixty years, and he had 2 from his journey nothing but mistakes and sadness. Now his health was poor and his mind was not strong any more.
　　The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him. And he remembered the 3 moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads — one led to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers and sweet songs; the other led to a deep, dark cave, which was endless and full of devils(恶魔) and terrible snakes.
　　He looked towards the sky and cried.“O youth, return! O my father, place me 4 at the entrance to life, and I'll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
　　He saw the lights getting away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life. He saw a star fall from the sky and 5 , and this was just like his life. His regret(懊悔), which was like a sharp knife, cut deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood. They had done their best for 6 and were now happy on this New Year's night.
　　He remembered his parents' early love for him. They had taught him. But he chose the wrong way. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and he cried out.“Come back, my early days! Come back!”
　　His youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year's night. He was still young though his faults(缺点) were 7 ; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which led to the peaceful and sunny land.
