问题     Despite the temptation for parents to say yes to their children’ s wishes, research shows there’ s an insidious side to chasing after the newest thing others have. It【C1】________a sense of deficiency that can never be fully【C2】________. First they want the doll, then all of the accessories.
    And so I’ ve taken on the work of saying no sometimes. At first, not surprisingly, my daughters, aged 4 and 9,【C3】________. They called me a bad father and I got plenty of【C4】________looks. But over time, they realized the【C5】________that comes from a no. Now my daughters pretend that their Elsa doll plays with a package of shopkins,【C6】________gives both toys a second, and better, life.
    It【C7】________out that saying no pays off far beyond avoiding raising spoiled kids. When we always【C8】________to our children’ s wants, we rob them【C9】________the opportunity to find solutions by adapting what they already have. Kids who learn from【C10】________realize at an early age that they won’ t always have the perfect tool for every job.
    Youngsters are naturally【C11】________. Give toddlers a frying pan and all sorts of uses come to their minds.【C12】________, as adults, we’re stuck using it to make a stir-fry. Many years of chasing after things we don’ t need【C13】________our own ability to make more out of what we already have. It also【C14】________a bad example for our kids.
    Each time we acquiesce to our kids’ latest【C15】________to buy something, we subtly condition them that their resources have limited uses. An occasional veto will【C16】________them, in this case literally, to think outside the box. Many people who grow up without much recognize【C17】________as an essential skill to get by. Those of us fortunate to live in relative abundance can【C18】________from occasionally experiencing scarcity. To be sure, I’m not suggesting denying children a generous supply of things they actually need like healthy meals, warm clothes and love. But plenty of wishes we cater to teach the【C19】________message. By having children occasionally experience scarcity, we can help them solve problems more【C20】________.
【C12】
选项 A、Indeed
B、Hence
C、However
D、Therefore
答案C
解析 本句意为“________，作为成年人，我们却只能想起来用它炒菜”。上文提到“小孩子天生足智多谋。给蹒跚学步的孩子一个煎锅，他们会想到各种各样的用途”，所以孩子与成年人在同样一件东西上的想象力不同，故前后两句存在转折关系，形成对比，However“然而”符合题意。Therefore意为“因此”，表示因果关系，Indeed“的确，确实”表示强调，均与题意不符。
