问题       People like being trusted. They are annoy-ed, angry, or feel hurt if they are regarded with 【C1】______ . They think that they are 【C2】______ an injustice. They like being trusted for two reasons: (1) It is a tribute to their honesty, truth, strength, 【C3】______ , kindness and good character; (2) They find it easier to cheat others. These two 【C4】______ suggest what our attitude towards trust in 【C5】______ should be. It is not a simple attitude. We must keep a balance between two 【C6】______ over suspiciousness and infantile naivety.
     A parallel to our trust in people could be our trust in natural 【C7】______ . However careful we are, we cannot guarantee 【C8】______ safety for ourselves in the physical world, yet we act as 【C9】______ we can trust an ordered series of physical events. We take the bus to work in the morning 【C10】______ that we will arrive safely at our office or school. We have no 【C11】______ that we will. The bus could be 【C12】______ in an accident.
     If we were to 【C13】______ every accident that might happen to us we would never do anything. We would just remain sitting at home. Even then we could never be absolutely 【C14】______ that the ceiling would not collapse on us. 【C15】______ we are to do anything at all, we must take risks. Of course we try to reduce risks to a 【C16】______ .
     Similarly with regard to people, trusting them involves taking the risk of being 【C17】______ . Not trusting them places us outside the area of community activity, 【C18】______ trust is an essential bond in community living. In a competitive, materialistic world it would be 【C19】______ to trust everyone in everything. However, we should widen the area of trust as far as possible. We cannot eliminate all risks in such trust 【C20】______ we should lessen them as far as possible by reliance on intelligence and experience worth our own and those of adults whose reliability has been proven.  
【C15】
选项 A、Unless
B、If
C、Lest
D、Before
答案B
解析 根据上下文可知，本句意为：只要我们想做点什么，就得担风险，由此可知本空所填词应引导条件状语从句，表“如果”之意，故答案为B If。A Unless意为“如果不”，可引导条件状语从句，但与文意不符；C Lest意为“唯恐，以免”，也可引导条件状语从句，不过其后要用虚拟语气，故排除。
