Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead,【C2】______there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed.【C3】______it is with happiness.

His method【C5】______successful in his case, but he was a sick and weak man, and most people would need something more【C6】______.

选项
A、stimuli
B、impulse
C、adventure
D、initiative
答案
B
解析
