One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed ___21___.

He began to ___28____ the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only __29___. Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated（帶插圖的）books.

According to Jimmy, you are what you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world sometimes seems unfair, your choice can change your life.

【解析】1.根據(jù)上一句話可知，Jimmy Liao這位著名的畫家哭泣的原因是他得了癌癥，生命似乎對他不公平。

2.此處是拿平常人對待健康的態(tài)度與 Jimmy Liao現(xiàn)在的情況形成對比。take …for granted認(rèn)為……是理所當(dāng)然的。

3.根據(jù)后面的一句解釋可知答案

4.下文提到 Jimmy Liao 為一畫家，畫家只能通過的自己繪畫來表達(dá)自己的思想

5.work著作，作品

6.play a trick on somebody捉弄， 戲弄某人。

7.根據(jù)句意可知，Jimmy Liao 這時得了癌癥，不能繼續(xù)工作。

8.本句為一個同位語從句，結(jié)合前面一句可知，Jimmy得了癌癥，但他在賓館里哭泣的那一刻也明白了人生并沒有命運(yùn)，而是看你如何做出選擇�？崭裆先绻�填face或refuse，fact引導(dǎo)的同位語從句應(yīng)改為他得病這個事實(shí)。

9.下文提到雖然生命對你不公，但你的選擇可以改變你的生活。因此，人生沒有命運(yùn)，只看你如何選擇。

10.根據(jù)Jimmy在書中所表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)可知他的這種看法可以在他的書中找到。

11.Jimmy對待癌癥，選擇了繼續(xù)工作來充實(shí)自己。因此，他對生命充滿了希望，這一點(diǎn)在他的繪畫中也可表現(xiàn)出來。

12.盡管世界讓我們感到自己很渺小，但我們也應(yīng)該勇敢，堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。Jimmy在面對疾病時所表現(xiàn)出的正是這個特征。great偉大的；strong 強(qiáng)壯的；equal平等的。

13.上文提到在面對疾病時，可以放棄也可以繼續(xù)工作，關(guān)鍵看你選擇什么。本句是回答這個問題：只要你做出正確的選擇，生命就會充滿希望。

14.Jimmy 原本是一名成功的畫家，得病之后又繼續(xù)工作，又贏得了新的名譽(yù)和財(cái)富。

15.根據(jù)Jimmy所患疾病可排除A項(xiàng)，slowly 只強(qiáng)調(diào)動作，不符語意；separately與下文with his wife and daughter矛盾。
