问题     There were red faces at one of Britain’ s biggest banks recently. They had accepted a telephone order to buy $ 100,000 worth of shares from a fifteen-year-old schoolboy(they thought he was twenty-one). The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to【C1】______The band lost $ 20,000 on the【C2】______that it cannot get back because, for one thing, this young speculator does not have the money and, for another,【C3】______under eighteen, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had risen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed $ 20,000

Because he is also under eighteen the banks have【C10】______a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost their jobs.
【C10】
选项 A、kissed goodbye
B、got rid of
C、lived up to
D、made up for
答案A
解析 kiss goodbye吻别。get rid of摆脱，除去。live up to实践，做到。make up for补偿。根据上下文可知这里是要表示“银行只好白白丢掉很多钱”的意思。kiss goodbye可以生动地表达出这层含义，其他三个词不符合文章意义和感情色彩。
