It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it【62】. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead,【63】there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed.【64】it is with happiness. If you pursue it by【65】of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over (宿醉). Greek philosopher Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial (趣味相投的) society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method【66】successful in his case, but he was a sick and weak man, and most people would need something more【67】. For most people, the pursuit of happiness,【68】supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should, except in rare and heroic cases, be compatible【69】happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the【70】conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who,【71】, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the【72】must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one【73】, 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【74】, and are happy as long as external conditions are【75】. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an【76】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,【77】in English-speaking societies, this is too【78】to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount (最 高的) objective, and【79】all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private【80】. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying (折 磨) other people by exhortations (训词) to【81】his noble example. [br]
选项
A、nevertheless
B、therefore
C、moreover
D、meanwhile
答案
A
解析
逻辑衔接题。and表明,第二个who和第一个who并列,都修饰people。结合语境,前面提到这些人拥有获得快乐的物质条件,后面说他们非常不快乐,前后意思有转折,故答案为[A]nevertheless“然而,不过”,表转折关系。
