As children grow, they gain more【C5】______to make their own choices. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own【C6】______and marriage partners. Of course, many young adults still【C7】______their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make.

A number of women are now leaving the work force to become full-time homemakers.
    Being a parent is a tall order. It takes patience, love,【C17】______courage and a good sense of humor to raise children.

【C8】
选项 A、inhabitation
B、slot
C、nest
D、flat
答案C
解析 考查名词辨析。一般情况下，我们都会把自己的家比喻成“窝”，即nest。值得注意的是，原文该处有引号，故填包含比喻义的词更恰当，再次确定此题选C。inhabitation“居住”；slot“空档”；flat“一间房间”。
