"Time", says the proverb, "is money". This means that every moment well-spent may bring out some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully【C1】______, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money【C2】______the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. 【C3】______, our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of【C4】______, and we spare no pains, no trouble and no expense to preserve life. But we are too often【C5】______to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live.
There is a third【C6】______which will also tend to warn us against loss of time. Our life is a brief【C7】______measuring some sixty or seventy years in all, but nearly one half of this has to be spent in sleep, some years have to be spent in making journeys on land and voyages by sea, some in merry making; some in【C8】______religious and social festivities. Now if all these years were to be deducted from the term over which our life extends we shall find about fifteen or twenty years at our【C9】______for active work. Whoever remembers this can never【C10】______waste a single moment of his life.
【C8】
选项
A、celebrating
B、commemorating
C、marking
D、observing
答案
A
解析
这几个词都有“纪念,庆祝”的意思,但含义和使用范围不同。A项celebrating意为“庆祝”,除用于表示一些庄重的事件和与宗教有关的活动外,还侧重于表示通过举行盛会等形式“庆祝”重要和快乐的节日等,也可表示“庆祝”任何值得高兴的事件、日子等;B项commemorating意为“纪念,庆祝”,表示庄严地庆祝某个重大的日子,以使人记住这个日子的来历;C项marking表示“庆祝”具有特殊意义的、特别引人注目的节日、事件等;D项observing表示积极地严格遵守传统的节日礼仪,过分拘泥于仪式的细节,尤其指宗教方面的习俗。本文中,这个动词的宾语是religious and social festivi—ties(宗教和社会的庆典活动),所给的四个词中能够表示这样宽泛意义的词是celebra—ting。
