The strongest impression the casual reader gets is that proper dying has become an extraordinary,【3】an exotic experience, something only the specially trained can do.

选项
A、races
B、creatures
C、people
D、human

B
解析
从本句“书中内容会让你觉得我们是唯一有死亡意识的……”和下句中“自然界中的其他生命(除我们以外的)一代又一代经历着生命的周期和死亡”,可以推测出空格处所指的是生物,而不是种族、人们、人类,故选B。
