问题     Once while trying to reach his car key, Li Ka-shing
dripped a two-dollar coin, which rolled under the ear.            【M1】______.
He figured out when the car started, the coin would fall          【M2】 ______.
into the gutter, so he bent down to pick it up. Seeing
this, an Indian attendant on duty immediately picked it
up for him. Having got back his coin, Li Ka-shing
surprisingly gave the attendant 100 dollars as a reward. His
explanation for such a big reward was:  "If the attendant
hadn’t picked up the coin, it have rolled into the gutter and      【M3】 ______.
the two dollars would have disappeared from the world.
When I gave 100 dollars to the attendant, he could spend it        【M4】______.
on some useful purpose. I think money should be used, not
wasted."
    This incident illustrates Li Ka-shing’s philosophy of          【M5】______.
economy. It also exemplify his way of thinking; that is, he        【M6】______.
judges whether an individual’s action is justified with
determining whether it increases or decreases the total net
income of society. As long as the total net income of society      【M7】______.
increased, it doesn’t matter if he himself suffers a loss;
conversely, if the total net income of society is decreased,       【M8】______.
his own personal financial gain will still be a loss in broad sense.
We shouldn’t look down on this way of Considering the              【M9】______.
total net-income of society—it is a big issue concerned the
wealth and strength of the nation. In his book The Wealth of
Nations, Adam Smith expressed an important view: the
contribution individuals make to society in pursuing their         【M10】______.
own good is great than that made by individuals attempting
to benefit society. [br] 【M2】
选项
答案 out
解析 figure out意为“计算出；想出，理解，明白”，如：I can’t figure out why she said that．我弄不懂她为什么要说那句话。这里所需表达的意思是“以为，估计”，故去掉 out，保留figure即可。
