问题     Years ago, when I started【C1】________my first job, wise advisers urged, " Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of【C2】________How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a【C3】________drive into an adventure, extra work into【C4】________and strangers into friends.
    【C5】________great was ever achieved without enthusiasm, " wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the【C6】________that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, " I can do it!" when others【C7】________, " No, you can’t. "
    It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be【C8】________accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep【C9】________for her that she never thought of stopping.
    We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the【C10】________of a beetle. It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air,【C11】________their age.
    At 90, cellist Pablo Casala would start his day by playing Bach. As the music【C12】________through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an【C13】________that made life a never-ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to【C14】________enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. "
    How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within. " And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love—【C15】________love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.
    Enthusiastic people also love what they do,【C16】________of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time【C17】________like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the【C18】________who handcrafts furniture.
    We can’t【C19】________to waste tears on "might-have-beens". We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be".
    We need to live each moment whole heartedly, with all our senses—finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and【C20】________the wrinkles from our souls.
【C13】

选项 A、answer
B、intimate
C、elite
D、elixir

答案D

解析 考查名词辨析。句意:音乐对卡萨尔斯来说,是使人生变成无止境的探索之旅的灵丹妙药。answer意为“答案”;intimate意为“知己”;elite意为“精英”;elixir意为“灵丹妙药”。这里的音乐,或者说卡萨尔斯对音乐的热情,使他的生活变得丰富多彩。因此音乐是一种调和剂,一种灵丹妙药,而不是一种答案。D项更符合。故选D。
