问题       Many people invest in the stock market hoping to find the next Microsoft and Dell. However, I know 【C1】______ personal experience how difficult this really is. For more than a year, I was 【C2】______ hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars a day investing in the market, It seemed so easy, I dreamed of 【C3】______  my job at the end of the year, of buying a small apartment in Paris, of traveling around the world. But these dreams 【C4】______ to a sudden and dramatic end when a stock I 【C5】______ , Texas cellular pone wholesaler, fell by more than 75 percent 【C6】______ a one year period. On the 【C7】______  day, it plunged by more than $ 15 a share. There was a rumor the company was 【C8】______  sales figures. That was when I learned how quickly Wall street 【C9】______ companies that misrepresent the 【C10】______ .
      In a 【C11】______ , I sold all my stock in the company, paying 【C12】______  margin debt with cash advances from my 【C13】______  card. Because I owned so many shares, I 【C14】______  a small fortune, half of it from money I borrowed from the brokerage company. One month, I am a 【C15】______ , the next, a loser. This one big loss was my first lesson in the market.
      My father was a stockbroker, as was my grandfather 【C16】______  him. (In fact, he founded one of Chicago’s earliest brokerage firms. ) But like so many things in life, we don’t learn anything until we 【C17】______  it for ourselves. The only way to really understand the inner 【C18】______  of the stock market is to invest your own hard-earned money. When all your stocks are doing 【C19】______  and you feel like a winner, you learn very little. It’s when all your stocks are losing and everyone is questioning your stock-picking 【C20】______  that you find out if you have what it takes to invest in the market.
【C3】______
选项 A、losing
B、retiring
C、getting
D、quitting
答案D
解析 quit one’s job辞职，由后面的of buying a small apartment in Paris，of traveling around the world也可看出作者是想主动辞职而非被动失去工作、退休或者找工作。lose one’s job失去工作(被动)；retire退休；get one’s job找工作。
