问题       People like being trusted. They are annoy-ed, angry, or feel hurt if they are regarded with 【C1】______ . They think that they are 【C2】______ an injustice. They like being trusted for two reasons: (1) It is a tribute to their honesty, truth, strength, 【C3】______ , kindness and good character; (2) They find it easier to cheat others. These two 【C4】______ suggest what our attitude towards trust in 【C5】______ should be. It is not a simple attitude. We must keep a balance between two 【C6】______ over suspiciousness and infantile naivety.
     A parallel to our trust in people could be our trust in natural 【C7】______ . However careful we are, we cannot guarantee 【C8】______ safety for ourselves in the physical world, yet we act as 【C9】______ we can trust an ordered series of physical events. We take the bus to work in the morning 【C10】______ that we will arrive safely at our office or school. We have no 【C11】______ that we will. The bus could be 【C12】______ in an accident.

     Similarly with regard to people, trusting them involves taking the risk of being 【C17】______ . Not trusting them places us outside the area of community activity, 【C18】______ trust is an essential bond in community living. In a competitive, materialistic world it would be 【C19】______ to trust everyone in everything. However, we should widen the area of trust as far as possible. We cannot eliminate all risks in such trust 【C20】______ we should lessen them as far as possible by reliance on intelligence and experience worth our own and those of adults whose reliability has been proven.  [br] 【C11】
选项 A、measurement
B、calculation
C、guarantee
D、optimism
答案 C
解析 此空所填词为前文提到的guarantee的原词复现，其意为：我们没办法保证将会安全到达办公室或学校，因此答案为C guarantee。A measurement“衡量”、B caculation“计算”、D  optimism“乐观主义”均与文意不符。
