Status is an esteem need and regardless of where we fall on the economic ladder, we all strive to achieve status before we can move on to the highest need--fulfillment.
【C1】______we admit it or not, we all want to feel as if we are a little better than the people around us. We begin to establish that--at least in our own minds--with the range of【C2】______, such as branded clothing, jewelry,【C3】______automobiles, and exclusive neighborhoods.【C4】______the poorest of people find symbols with【C5】______to establish their status. The visibility of these status symbols can create the【C6】______motivating emotion of envy.
Most happiness that is acquired by【C7】______status symbols is short lived. Over time such ornaments become【C8】______to us, at which point we seek genuine achievements to prove our【C9】______. Studies have shown that after【C10】______a certain income level, an individual’s happiness does not increase【C11】______they reach the status of super rich.
But, status can continue to motivate us long after money【C12】______to do so. Presenting you a new【C13】______with added responsibilities, yet without any added pay, is a【C14】______method for rewarding employees.

选项
A、stops
B、ceases
C、causes
D、eases
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨义。上一段讲到财富在给人带来快乐方面的局限性,而由But及空后内容可知status和money的效力是不一样的,故空中词应表“停止”.以与continue相对。cease to do sth.指“停止做某事”,而stop to do sth.指“停下来,做另外的事”,故选B。cause to指“引起”;ease指“减轻或消除(痛苦等)”,不接to。
