问题     Have you ever looked at someone else’ s life with【C1】________, just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or longer) that you【C2】________be them? Michelle Obama with her combination of grace and passion; George Clooney with his stylish attractiveness and ironic humor; Usain Bolt or Lionel Messi or some other icon of【C3】________.
    To be sure, there are【C4】________here. If you【C5】________someone else’s life, who would raise your children or love your【C6】________or take care of your parents in their old age? In fact, if you were someone else, your own children would not have come into【C7】________in the first place. That’s not a happy thought. To【C8】________this, perhaps the best way to cast this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life then they would have yours, and live it【C9】________as you would have. Your responsibilities would be【C10】________, so there would be nothing to feel guilty about.
    One immediate reservation about wanting someone else’ s experience is that my desire to be someone else is【C11】________in values and desires that I have, and so I have to be【C12】________in order to want to be him.【C13】________, it’s not clear that that presents any real hurdle to such a desire. I could say that it is precisely by my own lights that the experience of being them would be【C14】________, and that there would be at least enough overlap with them that they are achieving my values and desires but have a better experience than I do. So I can still【C15】________to be them.
    I think that, on reflection, most of us would not want to trade with another person, no matter how successful or enticing their lives seem—or even are in reality. To see why, though, we’ ll need to【C16】________our angle of vision. We will have to look at our own experiences【C17】________at theirs, or perhaps look at our experiences first. What would I be willing to give【C18】________to be another? My relationships with【C19】________—children, spouse, friend—and my whole history. I wouldn’t have undergone it. My【C20】________would be that of the whole of my own experience.
【C1】
选项 A、jealousy
B、admiration
C、prejudice
D、envy
答案D
解析 本句意为“你有没有充满________之情地关注过别人的生活?”根据下文的envy一词，可确定答案为D。jealousy“嫉妒”、admiration“赞美”和prejudice“偏见”均与题意不符。
