B.根据课文的内容在每个空白处填入一个恰当的词。 It was difficult to believe that he was a Ground. He was _1_ into an unimportant but well-to-do family. He was the youngest of five sons. The Grounds were a handsome lot: blue-eyed, fair-haired, clever _2_ ambitious. The four older boys all made a success of their lives. They married beautiful girls of good family, and produced children _3_ fair and handsome and clever as themselves. The eldest became a clergyman; the second _4_ up as the headmaster of a famous public school; the _5_ went into business and became rich; the fourth _6_ in his father’s footsteps and became a lawyer. That is why everybody was amazed when the youngest Ground, Henry, turned _7_ to be a lazy good-for-nothing. Unlike his brothers, he had brown eyes and dark hair, but he was every bit as handsome and charming, _8_ made him quite a lady-killer. And, although he never married, _9_ is no doubt at all that Henry Ground loved women. He also loved eating, drinking, laughing, talking and a thousand other _10_ which don’t make money or improve the human life. One of his favorite pastimes was doing nothing.
