选项 A、worthy
B、worth
C、worthless
D、worthwhile
答案 B
解析 此题属于语法题。be worth+名词/doing意为“值得…”，此处的名词往往是钱数或相当于代价的比喻性名词，例如：It’s worth the time and effort we devoted to it．另外，worth后面的动名词总是用主动的形式表达被动的意思，例如：It is worth considering．故选项B) worth与living连用，符合题意。选项A) worthy意为“值得”，be worthy of+名词/to do，例如：This novel is worthy to be ranked among the masterpieces of Chinese Literature．/It is worthy of the  name．选项C) worthless意为“无价值的”，与句意不符；选项D) worthwhile意为“值得的”，作表语或定语，例如：It was a worthwhile attempt even though it failed to achieve its aim．
