问题     Public perception of success in the U.S. might be totally misguided.
    While 92% of people believe others care most about fame and【C1】________, fewer than 10% factor those qualities into their own success. This is according to the newly【C2】________study by Harvard Graduate School of Education professor Todd Smith. Smith says he was【C3】________by how past studies on success "assumed what people will care about." In this study, his team "went the【C4】________direction" by spending years carrying out individual interviews and group surveys to see what people really talk about when they talk about success.
    As a scientist, Smith【C5】________studied individuality for a living, and even he was surprised to find younger respondents cared more about having a【C6】________in life. Those between the ages of 18 and 34 prioritized it most, and that prioritization dropped off as respondents’ ages went up. Perhaps this is because older people had fewer options when they were starting their careers, at a time when values focused more on stable incomes than【C7】________personal missions.
    Other trends included an emphasis on the importance of parenting. Being a parent【C8】________very high across the priorities of all study participants. Ultimately, Smith hopes institutions will take note of these insights【C9】________.
    Higher education institutions tend to focus on preparing students for high-paying jobs. For such institutions, from universities to workplaces, to better【C10】________people in the U.S., they’ll need to understand "what the American public highly prioritizes," Smith says.
    A) accommodate        I) opposite
B) accordingly            J) profession
C) acquiring              K) purpose
D) bothered               L) ranked
E) fortune                M) released
F) fulfilling             N) similarly
G) identify               O) wrong
H) literally
【C3】
选项
答案D
解析 空格所在句为宾语从句，空格前面为he was，后面为by，空格处应填过去分词，构成被动语态，充当从句的谓语部分。此处引出关于成功的一些研究。该句句意为“史密斯说，他对过去关于成功的研究如何‘假设人们会关心什么’________”，又根据后面一句“在这项研究中，他的团队‘走向________方向’，花了数年时间进行个人访谈和群体调查，以了解人们在谈论成功时真正谈论的是什么”可知，过去关于成功的研究是在假设基础上进行的，而史密斯的研究则是通过实际访谈和调查进行的。由此推测，史密斯对过去的研究方法有疑惑，因此采用了新的研究方法。代入选项可知，bothered符合此处语境。
