问题     Some people borrow money and "forget" to pay it back.
    Large loans are seldom the issue: they are usually treated as business【B1】______, with the terms spelled out on paper. But many women suffer【B2】______over problems like Carol’s " My friend Ginny is always【B3】______cash," she says. " I hate to recall how often I’ve ’ loaned’ her a dollar or two for a drink or a movie. Each loan is so small I’d feel really cheap making a big deal out of it: still, I do【B4】______the fact that she never pays me back. "
    Carol admits to being "too【B5】______or something" to demand repayment, but she has resolved to stop lending money to Ginny. " The last time she asked for five dollars to pay for her dry cleaning, I just told her I couldn’t【B6】______it. "
    Another woman suggests a bolder【B7】______. "When somebody refuses to repay a loan, I【B8】______by requesting one myself," she says. " ’ I left home without my wallet,’ I’ll say. ’ Can you lend me enough to cover lunch?’ Then, when the money is safely in hand, I am struck by a sudden【B9】______. ’ Why, this is exactly the amount I loaned you last week! How【B10】______! Now you won’t have to repay me!’" She says it works like a charm. [br] 【B6】
选项
答案 spare
解析 空格前是情态动词的否定形式couldn’t，因此，此处应该填入动词原形，与couldn’t一起作从句的谓语。由于朋友总是借钱不还，而卡萝尔又不好意思向朋友要求还钱，时间长了，卡萝尔决定不再借钱给朋友，再结合本句句首的the last time可以判断，从这一次起，卡萝尔拒绝借钱给朋友。因此，她告诉朋友她没钱可借。结合录音填入spare，意为“提供(时间、钱等)；匀出，分出”。
