解析：

(1)	我从父亲那里学会了如何面对生活。然而，那不是在父亲健康强壮时，而是在父亲体弱多病时学到的。however此处表示转折。
(2)	根据上文的strong and healthy可以判断出与之相反的weak and ill。
(3)	根据Now he can no longer walk……可知父亲身强体健已是“从前”的事了。
(4)	一场可怕的疾病夺走了父亲的健康。take sth．away“带走，拿走”；throw sth．away“扔掉，抛弃”；send sth．away“把……送往另一地方”；put sth．away“将……收起”。
(5)	stressful(有压力的)、hopeless(无望的)在此不符合句意，首先排除。通过下文可知父亲是可以开口说话的，由此判断出作者在此想说父亲说话很吃力(difficult)。
(6)	“我”和姐妹们去探望父亲，期间谈论到“生活”这个话题，由此引出下文父亲的话给了“我”人生的启示。
(7)	从下文“我”对姐妹们讲述的话：在成长的过程中常常要放弃一些诸如青春、美丽、朋友之类的东西……可知这是作者的一种人生观点和信条。
(8)	连词as引导时间状语从句，意为“当……时候，随着”。
(9)	但是似乎在我们放弃一些东西之后，我们总是能获得一些新的东西来取代它。It seems that…“似乎，看来”。
(10)	根据下文He said…．可知父亲听“我”的一番宏论后，突然开口说话了。speak up＝speak loudly大声地说。
(11)	根据第二段第一句中…a terrible illness took all that away可知此处为I gave up every thing!
(12)	根据前一句I thought and thought…(我想了又想……)可知父亲并未立刻就给出答案，排除干扰项B。
(13)	根据前两句，可知答案。
(14)	父亲的一番话深深触动了我。astonished“吃惊的”；attracted“被吸引”；warned“被警告”都不符合句意。
(15)	每当我生别人气的时候，我就会记起父亲的话而变得平静下来。情态动词would在此表示习惯性。
(16)	此处表示情绪的变化，从feel irritated转变到become calm。
(17)	此处be able to do对应if条件句中的could：如果父亲能用对他人的爱来取代疾病给他带来的痛苦，我就应该能放下我这不值一提的恼怒。
(18)	用这种方式，我从父亲那里学会容忍带来的强大力量。in this/that case＝if that happens假如这/那样的话；in the form of以……形式；with this method用这种方法。
(19)	有时候我想知道在我还是个孩子的时候，如果我能认真地听父亲的话，我本能够从他那里学到很多其他东西。
(20)	父亲这些话给予“我”很大的人生启示，“我”感激父亲赠予我的这份礼物。award“资金、奖品”；lesson“教训”均不符合题意。父亲并非只说了一个字排除D。 　　本文描述了作者如何从父亲那里学会面对生活的故事。
