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.

选项
A、enthusiastic
B、occasional
C、indifferent
D、underlying
答案
B
解析
词义辨析。此句以猫为例,只要有食物、温暖及……的机会出去尽情玩耍一晚,它就会快乐。这种机会应是偶尔的,所以选择occasional。enthusiastic“热情的”,indifferent“冷漠的”,underlying“潜在的”,均不能修饰night。
