    Empathy—the ability to appreciate that a stranger struggling with a suitcase not only finds his situation【C1】________ but also needs help which, assuming you are not incapable yourself, you can and do【C2】________ —is key to Simon Baron-Cohen’s thesis in "Zero Degrees of Empathy". He reckons that only those who can empathise with their fellow man and who【C3】________ act in a considerate way can hope to be without malice.
    Cruelty comes from failing to empathise with others,【C4】________ through being inconsiderate or through wilfully ignoring their pain. Some people lack empathy permanently, others switch it off when they are tired, stressed or【C5】________ —telling a child not to bother you because you are working, for example—and experience regret for their harsh words when their empathy returns.
    Those whose minds【C6】________ consider their fellow traveller are not bad but disabled, Mr. Baron-Cohen argues. For some, there is a genetic【C7】________ for why crucial parts of their brains seem disengaged while other people suffer. For others, activity in those brain areas has been subdued by some awful【C8】________ in childhood.
    The author champions his own parents for instilling in him what he calls an "internal pot of gold"—a measure of self-reliance and self-confidence which he thinks is【C9】________ for developing empathy. Children learn to consider the thoughts of other people only when the minds of those who【C10】________ them are safe places to enter. A child whose mother wishes he did not exist will not want to carefully consider the thought, and will fail to develop empathy as a result.
【C5】
选项
答案N
解析 空格填入的词跟tired、stressed并列，因此应填入形容词。空格后的描述“告诉孩子不要烦你”是“不耐心”的表现，故应选impatient“不耐心的”。空格前的tired“疲惫的”及stressed“紧张的”均为消极语义词汇，据此可排除褒义词tolerant“宽容的”。
