面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。“What is the meaning of
life?” It is a question that I have asked myself many times over
the years. The 41 answer I ever found was “The meaning of life i
s to give life meaning.” “When I was a young boy, I gave my life
meaning by 42 playing, running, swimming, laughing, and riding m
y bike. When I went to school, I gave my life meaning by learning
, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to 43 my mom and
dad proud(骄傲的). In college, I found meaning by 44 what I wante
d to study and what career (职业) I wanted to 45 for. When I was
working as a 46 , I found meaning by helping 47 young minds t
o new ideas and old wisdom. When I got married, I found meaning i
n protecting (保护), providing for, and watching over those I loved
. And when I found out that both of my sons were born 48 mental
(精神的) illnesses, I found meaning in loving them, 49 them, and
learning from them about love, patience, faith, and joy. As I got
50 I began to realize that meaning isn’t something that comes
and 51 . We can give meaning to every moment of our lives here.
We can bring meaning to the 52 we think. We can bring meaning
to the things we do. We can bring meaning to the 53 we touch. W
e are responsible for 54 our own meaning. All we have to do is
to love ourselves and 55 . It is love that gives life meaning.
It is love that makes life worth living. 41. A. easiest B. shorte

n’t expect to make a living through his voice. Li began to work a
s a company salesman in Liaoning Province in 2012. He tried to fi
nd a part-time job as a wedding host to improve his confidence. A
round the spring festival in 2014, he started listening to audiob

ecord himself reading books. Then, he posted his first audiobook

ts the following year.” Also, to improve his performance, Li had
a training course at Communication University of China to learn d
ubbing (配音) and how to write a play in 2018. So far, he has compl
eted nearly 30 works on Qingting. On the road to success, Li put
a lot of effort. Many people tried to get a foothold (立足地) but fa
iled, while he made it! When talking about the secret of his succ
ess, he said, “Many people have good abilities and many work very
hard, but they may fail. Early birds get worms. I believe they w

decided they’d take me and my younger sister on a course, so tha
t we could all find out how to make bread and pizza, our favourit

met our teacher, Michael, who seemed quite strict, and the other
parents and children, who were really friendly. The cooking part
was wonderful. Michael gave us long white coats to wear, which we
all felt a bit silly in. Then we all made bread rolls, mixing fl
our and water with our hands. My sister kept complaining (抱怨) at
first. Then even she started to enjoy it, and to concentrate on f
ollowing the instructions. Dad made lots of mess, I got flour on
the floor and in my hair, and Mum didn’t even get angry! I took a
ges to make my rolls, though. We finally put our initials on the
bottom of each roll, then made some pizzas and decorated them, wh
ich was fun. And we didn’t even have to do the washing-up! For so
mething to do while the pizzas were cooking, we all went for a sw
im in the lake. It was fantastic. Then we went back inside and at
