问题     The meditation begins in a way that surprises many people, because it starts by cultivating loving feeling toward yourself. Yet this is not【C1】______ for selfishness, but rather for selflessness, since the【C2】______ and selfishness thrive on fear but【C3】______in love. In addition, the meditation gradually【C4】______ its scope to encompass friends, strangers, enemies, and【C5】______ all people and all life.
    The phrases are very simple. They traditionally【C6】______ four desired qualities, such as " May I be happy, kind, loving, and peaceful. " As the meditation progresses these phrases will be modified【C7】______ to, " May you be happy, kind, loving, and peaceful," and then "May all people be...etc. " Finally, the meditation becomes all encompassing,【C8】______"all people" with "all beings".
    To do the meditation, first decide how long you want to continue it, perhaps 10 or 15 minutes for the first time. Find a place where you won’t be【C9】______and sit comfortably with your back straight and your body relaxed. Traditionally, the practice begins with a【C10】______ for, and offering of, forgiveness. It helps 【C11】______ anger and resentment that hinder love.
    Next, begin to mentally repeat your words. "May I be happy, joyful, loving, and peaceful. " Repeat your hope slowly and gently to yourself. No need to struggle or force any emotion to arise. Simply allow the words to【C12】______into your mind and【C13】______their healing influence. As you continue, a【C14】______of emotions may arise. Anger, fear, jealousy, and more may【C15】______ into the mind. Their appearance is actually a helpful part of the process, for these are the barriers 【C16】______ your experience of love. They naturally【C17】______ when you attempt to cultivate that love. By simply observing them, without【C18】______ or fighting them, they will dissolve and evaporate, leaving you【C19】______ of their painful effects. This is a crucial【C20】______process of spiritual growth.
【C2】
选项 A、elevation
B、edge
C、enemy
D、ego
答案D
解析 名词辨析题。分析原句结构可知，空格处应填入一个与selfishness并列且在含义上与其相似的名词，选项中能与其并列的只有[D]ego“自我”。[A]elevation“提高，提升”；[B]edge“边缘”；[C]enemy“敌人”，均与原文不符。
