read the passage

One night, as usual, he was staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open when his companion suddenly woke up and began to cough loudly. His breathing was rapid and intermittent, and the liquid had filled his lungs. He groped with his hands for the button for the electric bell. As soon as the bell rang, the nurse on duty would come immediately.
However, the other patient did not move at all. Why should he occupy the bed by the window?
A painful cough broke the silence of the night. One sound after another…it was stuck…it stopped…until the sound of breathing finally stopped.
The other patient continued to stare at the ceiling.
The next morning, the medical staff brought the rinse water and found that the patient had already died. They quietly carried the body out without making a fuss.
After a few days, it seemed that it was appropriate to speak now. The remaining patient asked if he could move to the bed by the window. The medical staff carried him over and placed him comfortably on the hospital bed. Then they left the ward, leaving him lying there quietly.
As soon as the doctor left, the patient struggled in pain. He propped himself up on one elbow and panted. He looked out the window.
All he saw was a bare wall.
1. Why did his former ward mate see the beautiful scenery through the same window, while he only saw a bare wall?
2. " One night, as usual, he stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open." Could the bold word " as usual " be deleted? Why?

3. "All he saw was a bare wall." Based on the character's personality and the plot of the novel, try to use your imagination to continue writing a mental activity of "him".
4. The ending of the novel comes to an abrupt end. Countless endings are possible, but we still sincerely hope that the patient can find his kind nature. Please write a philosophical sentence as a gift for him. I hope that with the help of our classmates, he can also see the most beautiful scenery and live well.
