Status is an esteem need and regardless of where we fall on the economic ladder, we all strive to achieve status before we can move on to the highest need--fulfillment.
【C1】______we admit it or not, we all want to feel as if we are a little better than the people around us. We begin to establish that--at least in our own minds--with the range of【C2】______, such as branded clothing, jewelry,【C3】______automobiles, and exclusive neighborhoods.【C4】______the poorest of people find symbols with【C5】______to establish their status. The visibility of these status symbols can create the【C6】______motivating emotion of envy.
Most happiness that is acquired by【C7】______status symbols is short lived. Over time such ornaments become【C8】______to us, at which point we seek genuine achievements to prove our【C9】______. Studies have shown that after【C10】______a certain income level, an individual’s happiness does not increase【C11】______they reach the status of super rich.

【C16】
选项
A、donated
B、decorated
C、dominated
D、painted
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨义。decorate指“装饰”,即用colorful square knots装饰的patches,与句意吻合。donate“捐赠”,dominate“占主要地位;支配”显然不合句意;paint指“油涂;画”,但这些彩色方块并非画上去,故不选。
