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] 【C10】
选项
答案
A
解析
空格前是介词to和定冠词the,可知空格处应该填入名词。[语义判断]本句中的despite表示转折含义,而逗号后句子主干部分提到,这只能怪他们自己。回顾文中讲到的痴迷于成功的人给自己寻找借口的行为,可知他们的做法与“失败只能怪自己的观点”是相反的,因此本题答案为A)contrary“相反的事实(或事情、情况)”。
