问题     People like being trusted. They are annoyed, angry, or feel hurt if they are regarded with【C1】______. They think that they are【C2】______an injustice. They like being trusted for two reasons:(1)It is a tribute(敬意)to their honesty, truth, strength,【C3】______. kindness and good character;(2)They find it easier to cheat others. These two【C4】______suggest what our attitude towards trust in【C5】______should be. It is not a simple attitude. We must keep a balance between two【C6】______over suspiciousness and infantile(幼稚的)naivety.
    A parallel to our trust in people could be our trust in natural【C7】______. However careful we are, we cannot guarantee【C8】______safety for ourselves in the physical world, yet we act as【C9】______we can trust an ordered series of physical events. We take the bus to work in the morning【C10】______that we will arrive safely at our office or school. We have no【C11】______that we will. The bus could be【C12】______in an accident.
    If we were to take account of every accident that might happen to us we would never do anything. We would just【C13】______sitting at home. Even then we could never be absolutely【C14】______that the ceiling would not collapse on us. If we are to do anything at all, we must take risks. Of course we try to reduce risks to a【C15】______.
    Similarly with regard to people. Trusting them involves taking the risk of being【C16】______. Not trusting them places us outside the area of community activity,【C17】______trust is an essential bond in community living. In a competitive, materialistic world it would be【C18】______to trust everyone in everything. However, we should widen the area of trust as far as possible. We cannot eliminate all risks in such trust but we should【C19】______them as far as possible by reliance【C20】______intelligence and experience worth our own and those of adults whose reliability has been proven.
【C16】
选项 A、flattered
B、assured
C、deceived
D、convinced
答案C
解析 语义衔接题。文中首段出现的cheat为此空所填词的同义复现，故答案为[C]deceived“欺骗”。本句意为：相信其他人就意味着要冒被欺骗的风险。[A]flattered“奉承”，[B]assured“担保”，[D]convinced“使确信”，均与文意不符。
