India is to frugality(节俭)as Bethlehem is to Jesus. As rich countries enter a new era of【C1】______, the best practices of the gurus(专家)of frugality can serve as a textbook for frugality’s new pupils.
The first tip is to wear your money. One rarely【C2】______funds when they are kept in gold and hooked through your nose or strung around your neck. Some Indian women wear saris woven with gold thread.
Your upholstery(家具衬垫)is not for everyone. Sofas wear away and stain. So cover your sofa with bed sheets and【C3】______them for only the best friends. So, too, with crockery(陶器): Buy a set of expensive plates and keep it in a case where your friends can see them while they eat from the cheap plates you actually set before them.
When eating out, order soups fractionally: a certain number of soups【C4】______by a certain number of people. Start with "one into two," the realm of Indian beginners, then graduate in time to "three into five" and "six into seven."
Of course, if you can, avoid restaurants【C5】______Weddings are big here, and Indians who keep an ear to the ground can eat free every night. Wedding【C6】______are not a movie in India; they are a way of life.
Within the household, Indian frugalists think strategically, like MBA’s. They do not let their children study art history. Children are【C7】______, and good investors build a diverse portfolio by rearing one police officer, one software coder, one retail clerk. They【C8】______their educations so that the eventual profits from each child subsidize the schooling of the next one.
Every MBA graduate knows about "value investing. " But only Indian homemakers apply the【C9】______to peas. That’s right: Buy peas in winter, when they are【C10】______and cheap. Freeze. Defrost and cook in the summer, when prices spike. Indian companies think like Indian consumers. Managers often fly to meetings but take train back home.
A)abolish F)misplaces K)remove
B)altogether G)plentiful L)scarcity
C)appointed H)principal M)sequence
D)crashers I)principle N)split
E)equities J)property O)sufficient [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
D
解析
名词辨析题。空格后的are not a movie in India表明作者此处不是指一般吃婚宴大餐的人,结合本文主旨“节俭”推断此处应该是指那些免费吃婚宴大餐的人,因此D)crashers“不速之客”为正确答案。
