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】________or 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.
【C6】
选项 A、interest
B、confidence
C、pride
D、pleasure
答案D
解析 这些人能够遵循上述规律一遍又一遍地来练习具有挑战性的活动，可见他们属于首句所提的“do what you love“的人群：会变得既快乐又成功(becoming both happy and successful)。D项pleasure“乐趣”能说明这些人对自己取得的进步感到快乐。A项interest、B项confidence和C项pride代入后分别指“对……感兴趣”、“对……有信心”和“对……感到骄傲”。上下文缺少与它们相关的语义提示。
