问题       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 hang-over (宿醉). Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, 【C4】______  by  a little  cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian (体弱多病的人), and most people would need something more 【C5】______ .For most people, the pursuit of happiness, 【C6】______ supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be 【C7】______  as a personal rule of life. But I think that 【C8】______  personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be 【C9】______  with happiness.
     There are a great many people who have all the 【C10】______  conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, 【C11】______ , are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the 【C12】______  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.

Animals live on 【C13】______  , and are happy as long as external conditions are 【C14】______  If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an 【C15】______  night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. 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 business-man may be so 【C18】______  to grow rich that to this end he 【C19】______  health and private affections.

【C9】
选项 A、incomparable
B、incompatible
C、incapable
D、incredible
答案B
解析 词义辨析。本句主干意为:不管你选择何种个人生活准则，它都应该与幸福……。此空前有should not，应选择．incompatible“不兼容的”构成双重否定，实表肯定意思“相容的”。incomparable“无与伦比的”，而此句并无比较的意思；incapable“无能力的”与of连用；incredible“难以置信的”不合句意。
