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.

   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."

Your【C18】______,and the choices you【C19】______today, help build the "house" you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build【C20】______!
【C4】
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。
