问题     People like being trusted. They are annoyed, 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 of our own and those of adults whose reliability has been proven.
【C16】
选项 A、dilemma
B、minimum
C、maximum
D、reduction
答案B
解析 根据上下文可知，本句句意为：我们当然要把风险降到最低，故选[B]minimum“最小值，最小化”。[A]dilemma“困境”、[C]maximum“最大值”和[D]reduction“减少”均与文意不符。
