The Town of Pressure and the Town of Pleasure were neighbors but had nothing in common.
Residents built walls to【C1】________influence from the other town.
In Pressure, 【C2】________struggled to be the very best. When women gave birth, they would【C3】________to have the baby with the loudest cry. There was violent competition in every aspect of life. Because【C4】________was the index (指数) of success, people were【C5】________busy making money, with【C6】________for relaxation. Some young people couldn’t bear the intensity and resorted to drink or drugs to escape.
【C7】________over in Pleasure, the motto was "As long as you like it, do it. " People grew up without【C8】________and【C9】________do anything they like. Children played computer games day and night. At school, teachers didn’t【C10】________whether students showed up or not. Workers might sit around the office【C11】________sipping coffee and doing nothing. 【C12】________the lack of regulations, nobody worried about losing their jobs. It was【C13】________ that mattered. No one had the【C14】________thought of moving forward, either for themselves or for the town. The computers they used were【C15】________models from Pressure.
Some of the young were addicted to【C16】________because of the meaninglessness of their lives.

选项
A、health
B、joy
C、children
D、wealth
答案
D
解析
health意为“健康”;joy意为“高兴”;children意为“孩子们”;wealth意为“财富。从下文“people were busy making money”可知人们都忙着挣钱,由此推断在小镇上判断是否成功的标准是财富的多少,所以D项正确。
