Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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. The constant working engine that drives the majority of human action is, undoubtedly, the fragrant dream of individualism. And while the presence of its scent is 1 throughout the world entirely, its value is worshipped (敬奉) to such an extent in a land no other than that of America. As the framework of its history, America holds individuality as the everpopular green light, the essence of which bees the symbol of hope for, well, almost everything. In fact, in America39。s current social status, individuality has bee something of a birthright, and a 2 applied upon the face of the media, where it was 3 valued as the American dream. There is no denying the popularity of this idol in American society, and little hope for 4 it.However, 5 most pride themselves in their individualistic state, perhaps humans, when stripped (剝) to their core (核心), are everything but. It is no new discovery that people are the sum of their experiences. The overwhelming majority of human experiences involve other humans, along with the 6 and relationships between them. It is a 7 occurrence when a life is built upon events without this stimulus. Indeed, interaction is the core of experience. Therefore, in order that humans are the sum of their experiences, they must be the sum of the people that they meet, just as well. As an Americanized teen, I found the discovery that not only my selfentitled individualism was 8 , but that I, as a being, was a product, increasingly unsettling to accept. Questions 9 me such as “If I am bits and pieces of everyone I have met — my family, my teachers, all of my friends, and even strangers — then what is left that is just me? What part of me is just me? How much of myself is the bining of different parts of different people? Is such a 10 between myself and others even possible?” Such are inquiries that will continue to be thought about, as I have e to accept that they will remain a 11 . Therefore, with the allowance of these questions, the response must be a 12 in the definition of “oneself”. The previously mentioned questions no longer concern me, as I have put a stop to the idea that the “real” me is some lost isolated island on top of an ocean of influence. I realized that my personality cannot depend on a(n) 13 between influence and individualism, as such is a line that cannot be distinct. 14 , I must be a person whose calmness is a beautifully hazy mixture, and a steady question. Thus, it is the monly unnoticed durable mystery that is the frustration of those who can 15 the lie of individualism. Hopefully, they will e into acceptance.1.
