阅读理解

Xia Boyu, 69, reached the top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, on May. 14, 2018. He became the second double amputee (双腿截肢者)to make it. Mark Inglis of New Zealand, who also lost both legs, was the first double amputee to step onto the roof of the world in 2006 from the Tibet side.

In 1975, Xia lost his feet after giving his sleeping bag to a sick teammate when he first tried to climb Qomolangma. Then in 1996, his legs were amputated above the knee as he fought against a serious illness.

But none of that stopped Xia from trying to climb Qomolangma again and again: "climbing Mount Qomolangma is my dream," he said. "I have to realize it. It also represents a personal challenge, a challenge of fate."

After the 1975's climb, Xia tried three more times,in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The 2016 was almost a success. He was just less than 100 meters from the top when a sudden snowstorm forced him to turn back. In the end, it took him over 40 years to realize his dream. Qomolangma accepted him, finally.

(1)、Who is the first double amputee to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma?
A、Xia Boyu. B、Mark Inglis of New Zealand. C、Mark Inglis of France. D、Mark Inglis from the Nepal side.
(2)、What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "a challenge of fate"?

    I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But {#blank#}1{#/blank#} when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} myself.

    Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.

    In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.

    My head {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in shame. He must think I was crazy. Maybe I could turn towards him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book!" But I didn't, say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was OK if he thought I was crazy. I preferred to be crazy instead of being the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let {#blank#}6{#/blank#} feel anything at all.

    I've been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn't think f was crazy. But now I don't want to be that girl any more —that bored and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} girl. I'd rather {#blank#}8{#/blank#} this girl who is able to forgive (原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.
