选项 A、behaviors
B、deeds
C、duties
D、performances
答案B
解析 整句话的理解。这里需要填一个名词，它的定语是the suffering，the self-denial，the loyalty and the heroic，而deeds的意思是things done"所做之事"；如：He is rewarded for his good deeds．他因做好事而受到奖赏。behaviors和performances意思是"表现，行为"，但放进句子中没有deeds贴切："历史记载人类事迹"较之"历史记载人类表现"更恰当，故排除。duties"义务，责任"不符合题意，排除。
