Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When I became an amputee at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and _50_.Too busy _51_ physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to _52_, feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward._53_, as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall a _54_ survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude _55_ 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 _56_ my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers _57_ held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with _58_ in their eyes. While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed _59_ at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she innocently asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”I explained that my legs had been sick.

Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to Leg Heaven?”That incident made me think about how _61_ children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a _62_ learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been _63_ of the same inappropriate 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 contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a _64_ approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesnt mean having a poor quality of life. 50.
