I was so happy. Then the guilt 36 . My younger brother was born blind. If his blindness 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 again.” 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 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 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? I still dont know the answer to this, but what Ive learned so far is: Guilt is a feeling begging to be 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 crazy 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 to see the world with all its glories and faults, or to be alive in all the ways life demands.36. A. bit B. hurt C. beatD. hit37. A. express B. show C. appear D. win38.

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. I didnt reply and leaned (倾斜) toward the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice. “Hi,” I replied. “My name is Laura. Im from Britain. 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. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had 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 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 by her intelligent comments and well-thought-out analysis. I asked Laura: “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? 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 believe 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.” 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! If I lose weight, Ill lose my happiness.” When we waved goodbye to each other at the airport, I suddenly realized that Laura was the most beautiful person I had ever met in my life.51. Why was the author unfriendly toward Laura in the beginning? A. The author was not in a good mood that day. B. The author had hoped to enjoy the trip alone. C. The author was not good at making friends with strangers. D. The author wasnt comfortable with Lauras size.52. Why didnt Laura want to lose weight? A. She didnt think she needed to. B. She didnt trust advertisements. C. She liked being big because it got her attention. D. She thought happiness was more important than health.53. What kind of person is Laura? A. Talkative and loud. B. Warm and considerate. C. Knowledgeable and proud. D. Wild 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 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 “armchair activists (键盘侠)” people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And “otherize” is a verb for “other” that means to alienate (使疏远) people who are different from ourselves whether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality. “We had all the words around Brexit (脱欧) in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary,” Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries head of content development, told The Guardian. Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, “fitspiration” a compound of “fit” and “inspiration” refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy. The phrase “climate refugee” someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change reflects peoples concern for the environment.According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions. “People feel much freer to coin their own words these days,” he said. But still, not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream (主流的) dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Stevensons suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive (有表现力的) and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.54.What is the article mainly about? A. Some new words that got included into the online Oxford Dictionary. B. The application of new words and phrases. C. How a language mirrors the changing world. D. The impact of social media on our language.55. With the mention of Brexit and Trump, the author intends to _. A. inform the reader of the origin of the word “clicktivism” B. show the influences of current affairs on the English language C. highlight two major political events that changed the world D. explain what kind of new words can make it into a dictionary56.The underlined word “coin” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _. A. use B. record C. change D. cre
