The Town of Pressure and the Town of Pleasure were neighbors but had nothing in common.
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. No one had the【C14】________thought of moving forward, either for themselves or for the town. The computers they used were【C15】________models from Pressure.
Some of the young were addicted to【C16】________because of the meaninglessness of their lives.
Then, people in the two towns began asking themselves, "What is 【C17】________for?" But, just before life in the two towns completely 【C18】________, there came a saint—Mr. Reason. He went from door to door, talking with people and giving advice. People in Pressure learnt to be【C19】________with what they had, while people in Pleasure began to make plans. They【C20】________the walls between them and built a road to connect the two. The towns’ people came to realize the truth—there is no space between Pressure and Pleasure if they don’t go to extremes.

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。
