问题      Many people invest in the stock market hoping to find the next Microsoft and Dell.  However, I know 【C1】______  personal experience how difficult this really is. For more than a year, I was 【C2】______  hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars a day in investing in the market. It seemed so easy, I dreamed of 【C3】______  my job at the end of the year, of buying a small apartment in Paris, of traveling around the world. But these dreams 【C4】______  to a sudden and dramatic end when a stock I 【C5】______ , Texas cellular pone wholesaler, fell by more than 75 per cent 【C6】______  a one year period. On the 【C7】______  day, it plunged by more than $15 a share. There was a rumor the company was 【C8】______  sales figures. That was when I learned how quickly Wall Street 【C9】______  companies that, in one way or another, misrepresent the 【C10】______ .

When all your stocks are doing 【C19】______  and you feel like a winner, you learn very little. It’s when all are losing and everyone is questioning your stock picking 【C20】______ . that you find out if you have what it takes to invest in the market. [br] 【C8】
选项 A、cheating
B、exaggerating
C、announcing
D、boasting
答案 B
解析 动词上下文理解题。句意为：传言公司夸大销售额。exaggerate指的是“夸大，夸张”；近义词 boast也有夸大的意思，但是更强调“自夸，夸耀，卖弄”，不合题意。
