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 aloof (超脱的)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】______to 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 siblings(兄弟姐妹)who are fighting【C12】______issues involving their aging parents. According to a new survey, an【C13】______43. 5 million adults in the US are looking【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 siblings 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 siblings in the center of a nuclear reactor and being told, ’Figure it【C20】______’" says University of Colorado psychologist Sara Honn Quails.

选项
A、spoilt
B、bitten
C、split
D、beaten
答案
C
解析
空格所在分句与前面分句之间是转折关系,前面分句讲到,尽管十分之七的人说在过去的一年里,曾经有过无偿护理为其提供过帮助。空格所在分句句意一转,指出,但是仅仅有十分之一的人说照顾老人的负担被平均——。因此,split“分配,分摊”符合题意,为正确答案。
