Residents built walls to【C1】________influence from the other town.
In Pressure, 【C2】________struggled to be the very best. When women gave birth, they would【C3】________to have the baby with the loudest cry. There was violent competition in every aspect of life. Because【C4】________was the index (指数) of success, people were【C5】________busy making money, with【C6】________for relaxation. Some young people couldn’t bear the intensity and resorted to drink or drugs to escape.
【C7】________over in Pleasure, the motto was "As long as you like it, do it. " People grew up without【C8】________and【C9】________do anything they like. Children played computer games day and night. At school, teachers didn’t【C10】________whether students showed up or not. Workers might sit around the office【C11】________sipping coffee and doing nothing. 【C12】________the lack of regulations, nobody worried about losing their jobs. It was【C13】________ that mattered.

选项
A、improve
B、failed
C、succeeded
D、lived
答案
B
解析
improve意为“提高,改善”;failed意为“失败”;succeeded意为“成功”;lived意为“生活”。由上文的叙述可知快乐小镇上的人们因为空虚而吸毒,而压力小镇上的人们为了放松也酗酒吸毒,由此可知他们的生活都是失败的,所以B项正确。
