It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it【C1】________. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often【C2】________. So it is with happiness. If you pursue it【C3】________drink, you are forgetting the hangover. Epicurus pursued it by living a life surrounded by friends and eating only dry bread,【C4】________by a little cheese on feast days. His【C5】________proved successful in his case, but he was not healthy, and most people would need something more【C6】________. For most people, the pursuit of happiness,【C7】________supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate【C8】________a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the【C9】________conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who,【C10】________, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the【C11】________must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on【C12】________, and are happy as long as external conditions are【C13】________. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for a(n)【C14】________night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in【C15】________. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too【C16】________to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and【C17】________all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so【C18】________to grow rich that to this end he【C19】________health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no【C10】________remains to him except pushing other people to imitate his noble example.
【C18】
选项
A、anxious
B、promising
C、lucky
D、possible
答案
A
解析
根据空格前的businessman(商人)和空格后的grow rich(变得富有)可推测,对于商人来说,应该是急切地想赚钱,故选A项anxious“渴望的”。B项promising“有希望的”,指的是客观上有这种前景的,而本句的to this end(为了这个目标)表明此处说的是主观的意愿。C项lucky“幸运的”和D项possible“可能的”都没有表达出主观的意思。
