They have never planned their【C7】______and they don’t live on one today. Both of them are very skilled on how to live well【C8】______less. A great example of taking advantage of good pricing is the【C9】______attention over the drug wars in Mexico【C10】______U. S. tourists from traveling south of the border.

【C2】
选项 A、vanishing
B、shrinking
C、expanding
D、fleeting
答案B
解析 形容词辨义。本句意为“可是，你马上想起来自己还有抵押贷款要还、孩子的大学学费要缴、银行里的退休金正在不断减少”。shrink意为“缩小，减少”，shrinking意为“不断减少的”，作形容词来修饰退休金，符合句意，故B)为答案。A)vanishing意为“正在消失的”，C)expanding意为“不断膨胀的”，D)fleeting意为“转瞬即逝的”，均不符合题意，故排除。
