问题     In interviews, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to "do what you love." But mastering a skill,【C1】________one that you deeply love, requires a huge【C2】________of dull practice. Any challenging activity requires【C3】________and concentrated practice.
    Anyone who wants to master a skill must【C4】________ through the cycle of practice, critical feedback, modification, and progressive improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to【C5】________practicing an activity like this for years and take【C6】________in their gradual improvement.【C7】________others find this kind of concentrated, time-intensive work to be【C8】________or boring. Why?
    The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of "flow," the feeling of being completely【C9】________ what you are doing. A flow state is a special experience. Flow states can happen in the【C10】________of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to adjust their performance【C11】________clear and immediate feedback.
    Flow states turn the dull practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a【C12】________to an end or for attaining some external reward. That raises the question of how we can turn this to our【C13】________: How can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the process of【C14】________skills and the rewards of being a master?
    Psychologists suggested that those who most readily entered into flow states had an "autotelic personality". For those who aren’t necessarily【C15】________with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be【C16】________by environmental factors. While there isn’t yet a pill that can turn dull practice into a【C17】________activity for anyone, it is encouraging that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states【C18】________we are given unstructured, open-ended time,【C19】________distractions, and a task set at a【C20】________level of difficulty.
【C3】
选项 A、focused
B、instructed
C、complicated
D、centralized
答案A
解析 句子承接上句，提到任何challenging activity(有挑战性的活动)都需要练习。所需词和concentrated“集中的；全神贯注的”组成并列的形容词组修饰practice，由此可推测两者语义相近，故选A项focused“集中的，聚焦的”。上下文并没有语义提示来说明practice需得到他人的指导，故排除B项instructed“得到指示的，受教育的”，也不能认为需要集中注意力的练习就是复杂的练习，故C项complicated“复杂的”不符合逻辑要求。D项centralized“集中起来的”指把扩散的事物(特别是政府、权利等)组织起来集中到某处，语义不符合要求。
