(单选题)
The underlined word “dissipates” (Paragraph 9) probably means ______.
A.disappear
B.return
C.occur
D.last
参考答案:A
参考解析:
词义猜测题。根据第九段第一句“But while one-time events do govern a fair amount of our happiness, each event’s influence proves rather short-lived.”由“short-lived”可知,幸福持续的不长久,很快就会消失。后面是举例论证这句话。disappear意为“消失”;return意为“返回”;occur意为“发生”;last意为“持续”。故选A。
