This is only true if you pursue it {{U}} (62) {{/U}} Gamblers at MonteCarlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often {{U}} (63) {{/U}} So it is with happiness. If you pursue it {{U}} (64) {{/U}} drink, you are forgetting the hang-over (宿醉).Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, {{U}} (65) {{/U}} 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 {{U}} (66) {{/U}}.For most people, the pursuit of happiness, {{U}} (67) {{/U}}supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be {{U}} (68) {{/U}} as a personal rule of life.But I think that {{U}} (69) {{/U}} personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be {{U}} (70) {{/U}} with happiness.

Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially inEnglish-speaking societies, this is too {{U}} (77) {{/U}} to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and {{U}} (78) {{/U}}all impulses that do not minister to it.A、business-man may be so {{U}} (79) {{/U}} to grow rich that to this end he {{U}} (80) {{/U}} health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no {{U}} (81) {{/U}} remains to him except harrying (折磨) other people by exhortations (训词) to imitate his noble example.

词义辨析和搭配。本句的意思是:人的需要比猫的复杂得多，但这些需要也是以自然的本能作基础，而在文明社会，这一点却往往……被人忘记。此处的形容词结构是be apt to“倾向于，容易”。abrupt“突然的”；absurd“愚蠢的”；acute“严重的”，这三个词都不能用在此结构中。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
