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
【C7】
选项
答案F
解析 空格前面为focused more on stable incomes than，后面为personal missions，空格处应填形容词或动名词。该句句意为“也许这是因为年纪更大的人在开始职业生涯时选择较少，当时的价值观更加关注稳定的收入而不是________个人使命”。代入选项可知，fulfilling符合此处语境。
