问题     It’s the dream of many an office dweller: Retire extremely early and travel the world at your own【C1】______. But then you remember the mortgages, college tuitions and【C2】______investments in your retirement accounts, and you think you couldn’t even consider it【C3】______you were wealthy. Meet one inspirational couple who【C4】______free of the financial restrictions and retired at the age of 38. They provide all of us some【C5】______on how to plan for and look forward to a rich and full retirement.
    Their wealth lies in the fact that they have numerous options open to them because they aren’t tied【C6】______to a large home with a mortgage and they don’t have any debt requiring them to work. They have never planned their【C7】______and they don’t live on one today. Both of them are very skilled on how to live well【C8】______less. A great example of taking advantage of good pricing is the【C9】______attention over the drug wars in Mexico【C10】______U. S. tourists from traveling south of the border. They find great【C11】______everywhere,with shops and hotel operators willing to【C12】______as tourism being affected. Generally speaking,【C13】______they can’t control the market’s ups and downs, they can and must【C14】______their lifestyle spending choices.
    There is no perfect【C15】______to retire, and retirement itself is not "perfect" nor the end-all. It is the beginning of a new life after a career【C16】______it depends on what one wants to do with their time left on the planet. In their case,they wanted to interject (插入) more【C17】______into their lifestyle and that was their motivation. As a living【C18】______, they concentrate on experiences and people—not things, and it works for them.【C19】______that with love to live simply and it’s a recipe for their【C20】______style of satisfaction.
【C13】
选项 A、despite of
B、only if
C、even if
D、as though
答案C
解析 逻辑衔接。前面分句表达的是“他们无法控制市场的跌宕起伏”，后一分句说“他们能够也必须决定自己的消费习惯”，由此可知，文中表达的是让步语气“虽然……但是”，冈此C)even if“即使……”符合题意，故为答案。A)despite of“不管……；不顾……；任凭……”，B)only if“只有……”和D)as though“好像，仿佛”均不符合题意，故排除。
