问题     Public perception of success in the U.S. might be totally misguided.
    While 92% of people believe others care most about fame and【C1】________, fewer than 10% factor those qualities into their own success. This is according to the newly【C2】________study by Harvard Graduate School of Education professor Todd Smith. Smith says he was【C3】________by how past studies on success "assumed what people will care about." In this study, his team "went the【C4】________direction" by spending years carrying out individual interviews and group surveys to see what people really talk about when they talk about success.
    As a scientist, Smith【C5】________studied individuality for a living, and even he was surprised to find younger respondents cared more about having a【C6】________in life. Those between the ages of 18 and 34 prioritized it most, and that prioritization dropped off as respondents’ ages went up. Perhaps this is because older people had fewer options when they were starting their careers, at a time when values focused more on stable incomes than【C7】________personal missions.
    Other trends included an emphasis on the importance of parenting. Being a parent【C8】________very high across the priorities of all study participants. Ultimately, Smith hopes institutions will take note of these insights【C9】________.
    Higher education institutions tend to focus on preparing students for high-paying jobs. For such institutions, from universities to workplaces, to better【C10】________people in the U.S., they’ll need to understand "what the American public highly prioritizes," Smith says.

B) accordingly            J) profession
C) acquiring              K) purpose

E) fortune                M) released
F) fulfilling             N) similarly
G) identify               O) wrong
H) literally
【C5】
选项
答案H
解析 空格所在句子结构完整，空格前面为主语Smith，后面为谓语studied，空格处应填副词，修饰后面的动词。该句句意为“作为一名科学家，史密斯________以研究个性为业，连他也感到惊讶的是，他发现年轻的受访者更关注人生________”。代入选项可知，literally符合此处语境。
