问题    Have you ever looked at someone else’ s life with 【C1】______, just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or longer) that you 【C2】_______ be them? Michelle Obama with her combination of grace and passion; George Clooney with his stylish attractiveness and ironic humor; Usain Bolt or Lionel Messi or some other icon of【C3】______.
   To be sure, there are【C4】______here. If you【C5】______someone else’s life, who would raise your children or love your 【C6】______ or take care of your parents in their old age? In fact, if you were someone else, your own children would not have come into【C7】______in the first place. That’s not a happy thought. To【C8】______this, perhaps the best way to cast this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life then they would have yours, and live it【C9】______as you would have. Your responsibilities would be【C10】______, so there would be nothing to feel guilty about.
   One immediate reservation about wanting someone else’ s experience is that my desire to be someone else is【C11】______in values and desires that I have, and so I have to be【C12】______in order to want to be him. 【C13】______, it’ s not clear that that presents any real hurdle to such a desire. I could say that it is precisely by my own lights that the experience of being them would be【C14】______, and that there would be at least enough overlap with them that they are achieving my values and desires but have a better experience than I do. So I can still【C15】______to be them.
   I think that, on reflection, most of us would not want to trade with another person, no matter how successful or enticing their lives seem—or even are in reality. To see why, though, we’ll need to【C16】______our angle of vision. We will have to look at our own experiences【C17】______at theirs, or perhaps look at our experiences first. What would I be willing to give【C18】______to be another? My relationships with【C19】______—children, spouse, friend—and my whole history. I wouldn’t have undergone it. My【C20】______would be that of the whole of my own experience.
【C10】
选项 A、covered
B、abdicated
C、assured
D、considered
答案A
解析 本句意为“你的责任将会有人______，所以没有什么可内疚的”。联系上文可知，拥有别人的生活自己会在养育孩子、爱配偶、赡养父母方面面临问题，这些都是不可推卸的责任。而与他人互换生活，自己的责任就会完完全全被别人承担。cover原意为“覆盖”，这里可理解成“承担”，符合文意。abdicate responsibility“推卸责任”与句意相悖，assure“保障”和consider“考虑”均与题意不符。
