Overall, men are more likely than women to make excuses. Several studies suggest that men feel the need to appear competent in all【C1】______ , while women worry only about the skills in which they’ve invested【C2】______ Ask a man and a woman to go diving for the first time, and the woman is likely to jump in, while the man is likely to say he’s not feeling too well.
Ironically, it is often success that leads people to flirt with failure. Praise won for【C3】______ a skill suddenly puts one in the position of having everything to lose. Rather than putting their reputation on the line again, many successful people develop a handicap—drinking,【C4】______ , depression—that allows them to keep their status no matter what the future brings. An advertising executive【C5】______ for depression shortly after winning an award put it this way: "Without my depression, I’d be a failure now; with it, I’m a success ’on hold. "’
In fact, the people most likely to become chronic excuse makers are those【C6】______ with success. Such people are so afraid of being【C7】______ a failure at anything that they constantly develop one handicap or another in order to explain away failure.
Though self-handicapping can be an effective way of coping with performance anxiety now and then, in the end, researchers say, it will lead to【C8】______ . In the long run, excuse makers fail to live up to their true【C9】______ and lose the status they care so much about. And despite their protests to the【C10】______ , they have only themselves to blame.
A) contrary F) labeled K) potential
B) fatigue G) legacies D realms
C) heavily H) mastering M) reciprocal
D) heaving I) momentum N) ruin
E) hospitalized j) obsessed O) viciously [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格位于in which引导的定语从句中,该定语从句句子结构完整,故空格处应填入副词,修饰谓语动词。[语义判断]本句大意是,女性只担心那些自己投入______的技能。备选副词中只有C)heavily“很多地,大量地”可与invested搭配,说明其程度,由此确定答案为C)。另一备选副词O)viciously“凶残地,恶毒地”不能与invested搭配,故排除。
