问题     The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever【B1】______ real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true:【B2】______, things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very【B3】______ that are the source of true happiness.
    Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. He might tell you that he is afraid of【B4】______, for it is in fact quite painful. The single life is【B5】______ fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most【B6】______ features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day【B7】______. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
    Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating【B8】______. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can【B9】______ increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from【B10】______: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
【B1】
选项
答案attaining
解析 attain意为“获得”，作介词of的宾语，故此处应填入其动名词形式attaining。空格所在句意思是，人们认为充满乐趣、没有痛苦的生活就是等同于幸福，但事实上这种想法降低了他们真正获得幸福的机会。
