An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to【C1】______the house-building business to live a more【C2】______life with his wife and enjoy his【C3】______family. He would miss the paycheck(工资)each week, but he wanted to retire. They could【C4】______The employer was【C5】______to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes,【C6】______over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used bad workmanship and【C7】______materials. It was an unfortunate way to【C8】______a dedicated(献身的)career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to【C9】______the house. Then he handed the front-door【C10】______to the carpenter and said, "This is your house—my【C11】______to you." The carpenter was shocked! What a【C12】______!If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.
【C13】______it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting【C14】______than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we【C15】______we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it【C16】______, we would do it much differently.
But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or build a wall. Someone【C17】______said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your【C18】______,and the choices you【C19】______today, help build the "house" you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build【C20】______!

选项
A、go off
B、get by
C、pass on
D、work away
答案
B
解析
本题考查动词短语辨析。go off“开火,爆炸”;get by“维持生计”;pass on“转交,递给”;work away“连续不停地工作”。根据前面的extended family和miss the paycheck可知,老人生活上悠闲,没有了工资,生活可能不如以前宽裕,但他们还是能设法维持,故答案为B。
