问题     In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to "do what you love." But mastering a skill,【C1】________one that you deeply love, requires a huge【C2】________of dull practice. Any challenging activity requires【C3】________and concentrated practice.
    Anyone who wants to master a skill must【C4】________through the cycle of practice, critical feedback, modification, and progressive improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to【C5】________practicing an activity like this for years and take【C6】________in their gradual improvement.【C7】________others find this kind of concentrated, time-intensive work to be【C8】________pr boring. Why?
    The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of "flow," the feeling of being completely【C9】________what you are doing. A flow state is a special experience. Flow states can happen in the【C10】________of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to adjust their performance【C11】________clear and immediate feedback.
    Flow states turn the dull practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a【C12】________to an end or for attaining some external reward. That raises the question of how we can turn this to our【C13】________: How can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the process of【C14】________skills and the rewards of being a master?
    Psychologists suggested that those who most readily entered into flow states had an "autotelic personality". For those who aren’t necessarily【C15】________with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be【C16】________by environmental factors. While there isn’t yet a pill that can turn dull practice into a【C17】________activity for anyone, it is encouraging that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states【C18】________we are given unstructured, open-ended time,【C19】________distractions, and a task set at a【C20】________level of difficulty.
【C15】
选项 A、equipped
B、labeled
C、blessed
D、defined
答案C
解析 上句讨论的对象是随时都有可能进入流畅状态的人，他们具有“自带目的性人格”(“autotelic personality”)。相应地，此句谈论的对象应是那些不具有“自带目的性人格”的人。be blessed with是常用搭配，意为“幸运地享有”，与前面的否定词aren’t一起说明有些人并不是与生俱来就有自带目的性人格，故C项blessed正确。A项equipped“配备”强调人为地提供或装备某人或群体以带来更大的方便和效益，不含与生俱来的意思。B项labeled和D项defined与with an autotelic personality搭配后，意为用自带目的性人格来“标记”和“定义”这些人，语义不符合要求。
