问题     The ability to laugh at your own weaknesses and blunders (失误) has long been recognized as a sign of maturity. And yet this is one of the most difficult【S1】______of your sense of humor to develop.
    Oscar Wilde once offered a【S2】______insight about the way we live our lives when he said that "Life is too important to be taken【S3】______." I don’t think he meant you don’t have to take your responsibilities, promises, work, etc. He didn’t mean that it’s OK to live life with no【S4】______. I think he meant that the quality of our life suffers when we【S5】______everything in a serious manner. We are no longer vivid, cheerful and spontaneous as when we were kids when we take everything so seriously.
    I think the key here is to take your work and your duties seriously, but take yourself【S6】______in the process. Otherwise, you will lose many【S7】______that a cheerful attitude and humor can offer.
    There’s a liberating quality that most people【S8】______when they get to the point that they can laugh at themselves. We get so caught up in our anxieties, embarrassments, frustrations and upsets that we carry them around with us throughout the day. But when we find a way to laugh at them, they lose their emotional grip on us and【S9】______into the background. We feel at peace with the incident, even though it was very【S10】______at the moment.
[A] benefits               [F] approach                   [K] aspects
[B] incompetence           [G] integrity                  [L] seriously
[C] delighted              [H] responsibilities           [M] embarrassing
[D] lightly                [I] valuable                   [N] retreat
[E] witness                [J] disgusting                 [O] experience
【S5】
选项
答案F
解析 空前的suffers，we和空后的everything表明，本空应填一原形动词，故[E]witness、[F]ap—proach、[N]retreat、[O]experience入选。下句中的when we take everything so seriously对应本句的when we 51everything in a serious manner，由此可知，本空所填词应与这里的take同义，有“做，处理”之义，故答案为[F]approach。experience强调经历过某件事情，且该事情对人有影响，与这里的in a serious manner相重复。
