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.

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.

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。
