18、 say: “How dare you do the things you do when others never get a chance to enjoy them!” Last week, I walked out of the doctors office grinning like a mule eating briars.Id just been told that my eyes were perfect. I was so happy. Then the guilt 36 . My younger brother was born blind. If his blindnes
19、s ever weighed him down, he never let it 37 . But I grew up 38 the weight of it on my shoulders. “Sister,” he 39 say, “tell me what it looks like.” Id describe the sun that 40 his face or the birds that flew across the sky as best I could. If I failed to get it right, hed say: “Thats not it, try aga
20、in.” Have you ever tried to put into 41 things that can only be described with feelings that come from the heart? Its hard not to feel 42 walking out of an eye exam with great vision, knowing your brother is blind. I can see and he cant. Where is the fairness? The truth, of course, is that there is
21、no 43 this. Joe is blind. I am not. So why the guilt? When my first husband died of cancer, I kept asking myself why I got to go on living and he didnt. Why did I 44 see our children finish college, fall in love, get married and have children of their own? Why did he have to miss all the things? The
22、 problem with blaming 45 for things that arent our fault is that it blinds us to beauty and numbs (使麻木) us to life. It hurts, not just us, but everyone close to us. And yet how do we make it stop?

23、an action. It doesnt want you to feel bad. It wants you to 46 . So I do. I try to act in a way that turns guilt into honor. To honor my brother, I try to see everything he cant. To honor my 47 husband, I try to be alive in ways he used to be. I delight in family, friends, people 48 , and all the cra
24、zy things they do. And I say “yes” to every chance I get to learn and be alive. But its a lot more 49 than feeling bad. Instead of wallowing in (沉溺于) guilt, I see for someone who will never see. And I live well for someone who is no longer alive. I do it for them. But 50 I do it for me. Its not easy

28、ne. She had to lower herself slowly, squeezing her ample (大的) bottom into the space. Positioning herself comfortably, she put her enormous arm on the armrest.

29、ritain. How about you?” A palm waved in front of my face. “Malaysia.” I shook her hand reluctantly (不情愿地). Laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions.

30、ad room to move in my seat. “I dont want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity (真诚). To my surprise, the face that I had disliked hours before slowly showed an extraordinary smile lively and calm at the same time. I couldnt help but let down my guard. Laura
31、was an interesting conversationalist. She was well-read in many subjects, from philosophy (哲学) to science. She turned a seemingly unimportant subject into something to explore and understand. Her comments were humorous and inspirational (有启发性的). When the topic turned to our cultures, I was surprised

You arent worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?” “Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “This may not be scientific, but I be
33、lieve in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time. You see advertisements from exercise centers that say: Liberate (解放) yourself from your extra baggage so that you are free to be yourself. Its rubbish! Youre liberated only if youre comfortable with who you are.”
34、 She sipped (小口地喝) her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it!

37、ild and adventurous.B French writer Frantz Fanon once said: “To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.” Since the world changes every day, so does our language.More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary, and in one way or another they are
38、all reflections of todays changing world. After a year that was politically unstable, its not hard to understand the fact that peoples political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary. One example is “clicktivism”, a compound (合成词) of “click” and “activism”. It refers to “armch
39、air activists (键盘侠)” people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone.
