These days, people who do【C1】______work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar" workers for the simple reason that they usually wear a(an)【C2】______and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the【C3】______of becoming white-collar workers. This can give【C4】______to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a(an)【C5】______for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too【C6】______to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then【C7】______into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman.【C8】______returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf s wife has never【C9】______that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in【C10】______is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him "Mr. Bloggs", not "Alf ".
A)knowledge B)rise C)discovered D)privilege
E)embarrassed F)collar G)strengthened H)envious
I)status J)changed K)before L)mental

这里的too…to…是固定搭配,中间填形容词,根据文章的主题:人们认为体力劳动不如白领体面,可以推测这个例子的主人公也觉得体力劳动不体面,故选E。
