It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it 【C1】______ Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often 【C2】______ So it is with happiness. If you pursue it 【C3】______ drink, you are forgetting the hang-over (宿醉). Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, 【C4】______ by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian (体弱多病的人), and most people would need something more 【C5】______ .For most people, the pursuit of happiness, 【C6】______ supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be 【C7】______ as a personal rule of life. But I think that 【C8】______ personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be 【C9】______ with happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the 【C10】______ conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, 【C11】______ , are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the 【C12】______ must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on 【C13】______ , and are happy as long as external conditions are 【C14】______ If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an 【C15】______ night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too 【C16】______ to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and 【C17】______ all impulses that do not minister to it. A business-man may be so 【C18】______ to grow rich that to this end he 【C19】______ health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no 【C20】______ remains to him except harrying (折磨) other people by exhortations (训词) to imitate his noble example. [br] 【C1】
选项
A、eagerly
B、reasonably
C、reluctantly
D、unwisely
答案
D
解析
考查副词。本文开头即提到伦理学家们常说幸福是不能靠追求得到的,下文又以赌徒一味追求金钱而以输告终为例,可知此处需要一个表消极意义的词,故选unwisely“不明智地”。reasonably“理智地”和reluctantly“不情愿地”首先排除,因为从上文看出,本句强调无法得到幸福的消极方式,eagerly“急切地”比较有干扰性,只有结合上下文,才能选出正确答案。
