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.

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] 【C11】
选项
A、nevertheless
B、therefore
C、otherwise
D、hence
答案
A
解析
语义逻辑题。此句包含两个由who引导的定语从句,由第二个定语从句中的profoundly unhappy可知,应选一个表转折关系的词,故nevertheless“然而”符合题意。therefore和hence都是“因此”的意思,表因果;otherwise“否则”,表假设。
