When my mother’s health was failing, I was the "bad" sister who lived far away and wasn’t involved. My sister helped my parents. She never asked me to do anything, and I didn’t【C1】______. I was widowed, raising kids and working, but that wasn’t really【C2】______I kept to weekly calls and short, infrequent visits. I was【C3】______in my adolescent role as the indifferent achiever, defending myself【C4】______my judgmental mother and other family craziness. As always, I turned a deaf ear to my sister’s【C5】______about my not being around more—and I didn’t hear her rising desperation. It wasn’t until my mom’s【C6】______, watching my dad and sister【C7】______each other and weep, that I got a【C8】______of their long painful experience—and how badly I’d behaved.
My sister was so furious, she【C9】______spoke to me during my father’s last years. To be honest, I’m not a terrible person. So how did I get it so【C10】______?
We hear a lot about the【C11】______of taking care of our graying population. But the big story beneath the surface is the psychological crisis among middle-aged brothers and sisters who are fighting【C12】______issues involving their aging parents. According to a new survey, an【C13】______43.5 million adults in the U.S. are【C14】______an older relative or friend. Of these, 43% said they did not feel they had a【C15】______in this role. And although 7 in 10 said another unpaid caregiver had provided help in the past year, only 1 in 10 said the burden was【C16】______equally.
As brothers and sisters who are often separated【C17】______and emotionally, we are having to come together to decide such【C18】______issues as where Mom and Dad should live and where they should be【C19】______. "It’s like being put down with your brothers and sisters in the center of a nuclear reactor and being told, ’Figure it【C20】______,’" says University of Colorado psychologist Sara Honn Quails.
【C1】
选项
A、volunteer
B、recognize
C、persist
D、submit
答案
A
解析
上下文语义题。作者在文章第一句就说到自己是“bad”sister,在母亲健康每况愈下的情况下却置身事外(wasn’t involved),据此可判断作者是不会主动帮忙做事情的,故用A项volunteer“主动帮忙”。
