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.

选项
A、abandons
B、cherishes
C、sacrifices
D、reconciles
答案
C
解析
词义辨析。由于商人急于想成功,他可能置自己的健康和情感于不顾,因此这里选择sacrifices“牺牲”。cherishes“珍惜”和reconciles“妥协”明显不符合,先排除。abandons是“抛弃”的意思,但健康与情感是抽象表达,不能抛弃,因此选sacrifices。
