问题 Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is【C1】______ absorption in the past. One should not live in memories,or in regrets for the good old days. One’s thoughts must be【C2】______ to the future,and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy; one’s own past is a gradually 【C3】______ weight. It is easy to 【C4】______ oneself that one’s emotions used to be more【C5】______ than they are,and one’s mind more【C6】______.
The other thing to be avoided is 【C7】______youth in the hope of finding strength in their【C8】______. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be 【C9】______ interested in them as you were when they were young, you are 【C10】______to become a burden to them, unless they are unusually【C11】______. I mean that one’s interest should be【C12】______, but not too emotional.
Don’t【C13】______ death, the best way to overcome it is to make your interests gradually wider and more【C14】______, until bit by bit the walls of the ego【C15】______, and your life becomes increasingly part of the【C16】______ life.
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly【C17】______ within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters 【C18】______ more quietly, and in the end, without any visible【C19】______, they become part of the sea. The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not【C20】______from the fear of death. [br] 【C12】

选项 A、contemptuous

解析形容词辨析题。[A]contemptuous“轻蔑，轻视的”;[B]contemplative“沉思的，思索中”；[C]contagious“传染性的”；[D]courteous“彬彬有礼的”。本句指出对子女的关爱应该保留在思想中，而不是无限制的情感投入，因此[B]contemplative是答案。
