问题    Have you ever been tempted to cut a corner or to take the easiest route, though you know it may not necessarily be the best one? Or have you ever made a【C1】______because it was quick and simple,【C2】______that it might come back to bite you later?
   I appreciate a parable(寓言故事) about a wild duck. Though life was difficult【C3】______, the beautiful creature【C4】______the boundless heavens and the endless stretches of wilderness. Soaring into the sky, the duck was a symbol of freedom to other creatures that could not fly.
   One evening during fall migration, he【C5】______to enter a barnyard where a farmer was feeding his ducks. The beautiful creature ate the corn and liked it so much that he stayed the night in a bed of warm straw. He ate the ducks’ corn again the next day. And the next. And the next...
   When spring came, he heard his old companions flying overhead and an almost forgotten longing deep within him awoke. The duck had lost his instinct. Now he longed to【C6】______his companions in the sky, but he had grown fat and was unable to fly. The easy way through our problems, though【C7】______, may not be the best way. It’ s always easier to borrow than to save: easier to jump in now than to do the hard work of planning: easier to make【C8】______than to do it right: easier to remain the same than to make changes.
  【C9】______you want to fly, you may have to pay a price. But【C10】______is worth it at any cost! Are you ready to soar?
【C5】
选项 A、attempted
B、intended
C、happened
D、decided
答案C
解析 attempt：尝试，attempt to do sth．意为“尝试做某事”；intend：计划，打算，intend to do sth．意为“打算做某事”；happen：发生，出现，碰巧，happen to do sth．意为“碰巧做某事”；decide：决定，decide to do sth．意为“决定做某事”。根据句意可知，此处指的是“在秋季迁徙的一个夜晚，这只野鸭偶然进入了一个农场仓院，一个农民正在那里喂他的鸭子”。故选C。
