高中英語語法填空:短文題型培優(yōu)練習(xí) Test 11

It is physically impossible for a well-educated intellectual, or brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as 　61　 (physical) impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them.

All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. 　62　 all healthy-minded people like making money—ought to like it and to enjoy the sensation of winning; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something 　63　 (good) than money.

A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay-very properly so-and justly grumbles（抱怨，喃喃） 　64　 you keep him ten months without it; still, his main notion of life is to win battles, not 　65　 (pay) for winning them.

So too of doctors. They like fees no doubt-ought to like them; yet the entire object of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, desire to cure the sick, would rather cure their patients and lose their fee than kill them and get it. 　66　 so with all other brave and rightly 　67　 (train) men: their work is first, their fee is second, very important always, but still second.

But in every nation, there is a vast class of people who are cowardly, and more or less stupid. And with these people, just 　68　 certainly the fee is first and the work second, as with brave people the work is first and the fee second.

And this is no small distinction （區(qū)別）. It is the whole distinction in a man. You cannot serve two masters; you must serve one or the other. If your work is first with you, and your fee is second, work is your master.

Observe, then, all wise work is mainly threefold in character. It is honest, useful, and cheerful. I hardly know anything 　69　 (strange) than that you recognize honesty in play, and do not in work.

In your lightest games you have always someone to see 　70　 you call　“fair play”. In boxing you must hit fair; in racing, start fair. Your watchword（口號，標(biāo)語） is fair play; your hatred,　foul play. Did it ever strike you that you wanted another watchword also, fair work, and another hatred also, foul work?
