They like being trusted for two reasons: (1) It is a tribute to their honesty, truth, strength,【C3】______, kindness and good character; (2) They find it easier to cheat others. These two【C4】______suggest what our attitude towards trust in【C5】______should be. It is not a simple attitude. We must keep a balance between two【C6】______over suspiciousness and infantile naivety.
A parallel to our trust in people could be our trust in natural【C7】______. However careful we are, we cannot guarantee【C8】______safety for ourselves in the physical world, yet we act as【C9】______we can trust an ordered series of physical events. We take the bus to work in the morning【C10】______that we will arrive safely at our office or school. We have no【C11】______that we will. The bus could be【C12】______in an accident.
If we were to【C13】______every accident that might happen to us we would never do anything. We would just remain sitting at home. Even then we could never be absolutely【C14】______that the ceiling would not collapse on us.【C15】______we are to do anything at all, we must take risks. Of course we try to reduce risks to a【C16】______.
Similarly with regard to people, trusting them involves taking the risk of being【C17】______. Not trusting them places us outside the area of community activity,【C18】______trust is an essential bond in community living.

选项 A、flattered
B、assured
C、deceived
D、convinced

答案 C

解析此空所填词为文中首段出现的cheat的近义复现，故答案为[C]deceived。本句意为：相信其他人就意味着要冒被欺骗的风险。[A]flattered“奉承”、[B]assured“担保”、[D]convinced“使确信”均与文意不符。
