21、g，my understanding of life was simple.”可知，这让“我”更容易(easier)与周围的世界打交道。2D根据“which made life more challenging”可知，随着“我”的长大，事情似乎变得更加复杂(complex)。3A句意：现在，中年了，“我”发现“我”的世界观正在回归简单。view “观点”。4A根据“One of those basics is _5_”可知，这里的意思是“我”试着教“我”女儿重要的基本生活知识(basics)。 5C根据“because you cant respect yourself for it”可知，这
22、里指的是其中一个基本要素就是尊重(respect)。6D根据“but not to have tried feels worse”可知，这里指的是“我”教“我的”女儿去尝试(try)。7A句意：当然(certainly)，失败让人感觉很糟糕，但没有尝试让人感觉更糟，因为你无法因此尊重自己。8Bas the saying goes “俗话说”，是固定表达。9C句意：有一个玩具是我一直特别想要的，于是我让它滑进(slipped)了我的口袋。10D根据下文的“even at that age，that I would never enjoy playing with the toy”可知，此处表示“我感觉到”，所以此空填sensed。11B根据上文的“I slipped it into my pocket.”可知，此处填stolen。12A句意：“我”将永远知道“我”偷了东西，我对自己的看法也会受到损害。suffer “受损害”。13C根据“and gave it back”可知，这里的意思是“我”羞愧地把玩具掏了(pulled)出来。14B此处指作者偷拿玩具的错误，所以用mistake。15D根据“far from it”可知，这里的意思是在这方面“我”并不完美(perfect)。
