(10 points)When I became an amputee(被截肢者) at the age of 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became 1 as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and 2 .Too busy 3 physical pain and obvious limitation of movement. I was not aware of this 4 at first. There were so many difficulties before me. But I was determined to manage my work and life as well as before, feeling inspired about the progress I had 5 . 6 , as I made my first journey outside the hospital, society had already regarded me as a new status. Happy to be free of my 7 in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall as a 8 survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I got a rude 9 as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 10 my eyes forced me to realize they only saw my missing legs. Mothers 11 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying “God Bless You!” with 12 in their eyes.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 13 at the empty trousers. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a 14 look, and childishly asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadnt been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 15 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to Leg Heaven?”That incident made me think about how 16 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, a new appearance is an interesting curiosity and a learning experience, 17 adults often observe the same thing with horror. I began to realize that I also had been guilty of the same unsuitable reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye 18 , and speak in a 19 manner. By using a positive approach, I attempt to make society know the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesnt mean having a 20 quality of life. We disabled people also enjoy a colorful life.1、Agreat Bold Cdifferent Dactive2、Acomfort Bfear Chatred Dhappiness3、Acrying for Bfighting for Cgoing well with Ddealing with4、Achange Bmistake Cability Dwish5、Ataken Bkept Cgiven Dmade6、AInstead BMoreover CHowever DTherefore7、Acare Blimit Csupport Dhelp8、Acalm Bpoor Cproud Drich9、Aresponse Bchance Csuggestion Dletter10、Aturn Bhold Ccatch Davoid11、Asoftly Bprotectively Cunwillingly Dpleasantly12、Apity Banger Cexcitement Dglory13、Adetermination Bcuriosity Centhusiasm Dsatisfaction14、Atired Bsad Cscared Dpuzzled15、Alose Badjust Cremove Dstretch16、Adifferently Bpositively Cstrangely Dcarefully17、Awhat Bwhile Cbefore Dafter18、Adifficulty Bexperiment Ccontract Dcontact19、Aconfident Bstrict Cbusinesslike Dserious20、Agood Bhigh Cpoor DrealSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

Computers were something you saw on STAR TREK(星际航行)，and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my house were the nature ready-made playgrounds.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one-lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of holes and muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.The dirt road give way to a rock one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight.
