Complete the following passage with words chosen from Text A. The initial letter of each is given.

Many of us have read interesting and exciting stories in which the main character has only a limited time to live. Such stories set (1) us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances (2). Sometimes I

have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if (3) we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the value (4) of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which (5) are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant (6) panorama of more days to come. Most of us take life for granted (7). We seldom think of it. We go about our petty tasks, hardly aware (8) of our listless attitude towards life.

But those who (11) have never suffered loss of sight or hearing damage (12) seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken (13) blind and deaf for a few days at some time during (14) his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
