问题     Read the following passage and choose the best word for each space.
    For questions 26~45, mark one letter A, B, C or D on the Answer Sheet.
    During the past ten years【C1】______attention has been given to "telling it like it is". My impression is that this devotion to【C2】______one’s mind has more often led to hurt feelings and ruined relationships than【C3】______great joy.
    I think we generally agree that never expressing real feelings and【C4】______all less-than-lovely thoughts about each other always leads to constructive communication. It’s a great 【C5】______to allow ourselves to admit our human weaknesses and pursue more honest relationships with others.【C6】______we need to keep a balance between telling it all and telling nothing.
    Recently I received a letter from a mother who had been【C7】______by her son to attend a weekend meeting with him. Under pressure from the group, her defenses cracked and she heard herself【C8】______her son for the first time that he【C9】______an accident—that she hadn’t been planning to have a child. He【C10】______told her that he couldn’t recall a single day in his childhood that he’d been happy. We cried and【C11】______; I thought telling the truth had been good for us. But the trouble is, it wasn’t the whole truth. By the time Tommy was born I did want him, and at【C12】______he was happy. Ever since that day, we【C13】______by some terrible feelings we exchanged. I must admit I’ve【C14】______the conclusion that some things are better left uncovered. Honesty is a fine policy, but we need a new sense of【C15】______. Disclosing is not a solution to every problem【C16】______even an end in itself. It’s useful under some circumstances and terribly hurtful under【C17】______. It’s a good idea, I think, to bite your【C18】______for ten or fifteen minutes before saying what’s【C19】______your mind. Try to decide whether it’s going to open up new and better ways of communication or【C20】______wounds that may never heal.
【C15】
选项 A、lie
B、balance
C、honesty
D、disclosing
答案B
解析 考点：上下文推理。分析：根据上下文可推出，该句是指诚实是一项非常好的处世原则，但需要在说出全部和一点也不说之间找到全新意义的平衡，故选项B．balance正确。本文第2段中最后一句“…keep a balance between…”也是解题关键所在。
