One of the most common human fears is scarcity. Many people are afraid of not having enough of what they need or want, and so they are always【C1】______to get to a point【C2】______ they would finally have enough.
Alan and Linda always dreamed of living " the good life ".【C3】______from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfill their【C4】______goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years,【C5】______a small fortune, so they could move from their two-bedroom home toa(n)【C6】______seven-bedroom home in the most upscale neighborhood. They focused their energies【C7】______ accumulating all the things they believed【C8】______ abundance: membership in the local【C9】______ country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society【C10】______. No matter how much they accumulated,【C11】______, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to erase the deep fear of scarcity both【C12】______in childhood. They needed to learn the【C13】______of abundance. Then the stock market【C14】______in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money.
One thing【C15】______another, and they found themselves in a financial disaster.【C16】______ needed to be sold, and【C17】______they lost the country club membership, the cars, and the house. It took several years and much hard work for Alan and Linda to land on their【C18】______. Only now, as they【C19】______what they have left—a solid, loving marriage, their health, a dependable income, and good friends【C20】______that true abundance comes not from amassing, but rather from appreciating.
【C13】
选项
A、mistake
B、instruction
C、lesson
D、significance
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。从上下文分析,他们并不懂得什么是真正的富足,所以需要得到教训才会醒悟,[C]lesson“教训,训诫”,符合句意,故为正确答案。[A]mistake“错误”、[B]instruction“指导,命令”,不符合句意,可排除;[D]significance“意义”,虽然可以说significance ofabundance,但是他们并非不知道物质上富足的好处与意义,用在此处不合适,故也排除。
