Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead,【C2】______there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed.【C3】______it is with happiness. If you pursue it by【C4】______of drink, you are forgetting the hangover(宿醉). Greek philosopher Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial(趣味相投的)society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method【C5】______successful in his case, but he was a sick and weak man, and most people would need something more【C6】______.

In such cases it would seem as if the【C11】______must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one【C12】______. we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong.

People propose to themselves some one paramount(最高的)objective, and【C18】______all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private【C19】______. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying(折磨)other people by exhortations(训词)to【C20】______his noble example.

选项
A、feasible
B、appropriate
C、fitting
D、apt
答案
D
解析
惯用衔接题。be apt to意为“易于…的,有…倾向的”,故答案为[D]apt。此处是说,在文明社会里,这一点更容易被忘记。[A]feasible意为“可行的,可用的”;[B]appropriate意为“适当的,恰当的”;[C]fitting意为“适合的,恰当的”。
