问题     It has been said that everyone lives by selling something. In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling【C1】kno______, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the【C2】______of material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times when we would willingly 【C3】______everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us【C4】______(precise)this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has【C5】______to sell.
    Tramps seem to be the only exception【C6】______this general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as human beings to arouse the【C7】______of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require【C8】______ from others. In 【C9】______(seek)independence, they do not sacrifice their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him. He has 【C10】______(deliberate)chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences. He may never be sure where the next【C11】______is coming from, but he is free from the thousands of anxieties which afflict(折磨)other people. His few material possessions make it possible for him to【C12】______from place to place with ease. By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally to keep himself【C13】a______; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom. We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as【C14】______, but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious【C15】______their simple way of life and their freedom from care? [br] 【C13】
