Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead,【C2】______there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed.【C3】______it is with happiness. If you pursue it by【C4】______of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over (宿醉). Greek philosopher Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial (趣味相投的) society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method【C5】______successful in his case, but he was a sick and weak man, and most people would need something more【C6】______.

There are a great many people who have all the【C9】______conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who,【C10】______. are profoundly unhappy.

People propose to themselves some one paramount (最 高的) objective, and【C18】______all impulses that do not minister to it.

选项
A、nevertheless
B、therefore
C、moreover
D、meanwhile
答案
A
解析
逻辑衔接题。and表明,第二个who和第一个who并列,都修饰people。结合语境,前面提到这些人拥有获得快乐的物质条件,后面说他们非常不快乐,前后意思有转折,故答案为[A] nevertheless“然而,不过”,表转折关系。
