The best time to view the Mona Lisa, according to a new book on the best times to do things, is around nine o’clock on a Sunday morning: most tourists, it seems, don’t realise that the Louvre is open then, while plenty of those who do will still be【C1】______from the wine-fuelled excesses of Saturday night. The best night to eat at a restaurant is a Tuesday: no crowds, but better than a Monday, since many restaurants don’t get weekend deliveries, making Monday’s food less【C2】______.
Such is the【C3】______but strangely compelling life-advice collected within the covers of Buy Ketchup In May And Fly At Noon, by Mark Di Vincenzo, a book that takes literally the cliche that timing is everything. But the【C4】______of his outlook are universal. If there’s a perfect time to ask for a pay rise or a date, or a perfect moment in life to buy a house, have children or switch jobs, then there’s hope for us all, if only we can time things right.
Of course, there’s no such【C5】______art of timing that will make everything run smoothly. But one general principle that does【C6】______from Di Vincenzo’s book is this: it pays, in life, to learn when and how to deliberately【C7】______out of synchronise (同步) with the rest of the world. Sometimes, this is a simple question of【C8】______the crowds: obviously, that’s the reason for holidaying off season, and it’s why Di Vincenzo recommends calling customer-service lines the moment they open, when call volume is lowest. But there’s more to the matter than【C9】______avoiding peak times: with a little cunning (技巧), you can de-synchronise yourself from the crowd so as to make their【C10】______behaviour work to your advantage.
A) numerous I) recovering
B) avoiding J) emerge
C) worldly K) merely
D) implications L) herd
E) implied M) superior
F) secret N) conversely
G) fresh O) fall H) engagements
【C3】
选项
答案
C
解析
该空格是与strangely compelling“异常令人信服的”共同修饰后面的名词life-advice,但是意思上构成转折,可推知此处缺少一个形容词。另这句话的末尾还讲到,“这本书所反映的思想再普通不过了……”,提示这里填入worldly“世俗的”合适。
