问题 Once，Angela shared her feelings about money，“Money worries me．I think I intend to live without money because I HATE MONEY．”We were all touched by her words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us．Later I offered to help Angela deal with her financial problems．She hesitated to accept my offer，and I could see she was afraid of what it might involve．I quickly assured her that I wouldn’t make her do more than she was able to．I told her frankly that I wouldn’t burden her with guilt，judgements，or impossible tasks．All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them．
    Angela still resisted my offer，and I can remember the excuses she gave me as the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people．“I’ll never understand money”．“I don’t deserve to have money．”and the most devastating one of all，“I just can’t do it．”
    Angela’s attitude conveyed the sanle negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many people．I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively．My counseling has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival．At a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life，but sense of worth that drives us to act as if it were．It locks us up in self-doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power and spirit．
The word“devastating”(in boldface in paragraph 2)probably means__________.
选项 A、convincing
B、instructive
C、shocking
D、shameful
答案C
解析 词汇猜测题。从上文列举的借口可看出这些借口都是消极负面的借口，故排除A。shameful与文意无关；shocking的意思是“骇人的，很坏的”，符合语意。故答案为C。
