问题     It has been said that everyone lives by selling something. In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling【C1】______, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling【C2】______comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of【C3】______good in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times when we would【C4】______give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service. The conditions of society are such that【C5】______have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.
    Tramps(流浪汉)seem to be the only【C6】______to this general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as human being to【C7】______the pity of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they do not【C8】______their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him. We often speak of tramps with【C9】______and put them in the same class as beggars, but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little【C10】______of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?
A)arouse B)knowledge C)scored D)sacrifice
E)material F)invulnerable G)spiritual H)anxious
I)envious J)willingly K)skills L)associate
M)happiness N)exception O)contempt
【C9】
选项
答案O
解析 从前面可以看出作者认为乞丐是在出卖自己，而流浪汉不是，可见作者对于两种人的态度是不同的．这里相对比的就是人们通常看不起流浪汉。把他们与乞丐混为一谈，故选contempt，意为“轻视，蔑视”。
