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】______. For most people, the pursuit of happiness,【C7】______supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should, except in rare and heroic cases, be compatible【C8】______happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the【C9】______conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who,【C10】______. are profoundly unhappy. 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.
【C14】
选项
A、favorable
B、suitable
C、preferable
D、vulnerable
答案
A
解析
语义衔接题。结合语境,下文提到如果猫有食物吃,感到暖和,它就会快乐,由此可推断出,只要像食物等外界条件对它们的生存有利,猫就会快乐,故答案为[A]favorable“有利的”。[B]suitable意为“合适的,适宜的”,是强干扰项,常用来指适合某个特殊的目的或场合;[C]preferable意为“更好的,更合意的”,常用来指比另一个更合意或更有价值;[D]vulnerable意为“易受伤的,脆弱的”。
