正确答案: C

stop her from buying unnecessary things

题目：Mrs. White's husband tried to ______.

解析：解析：注意题干上的名词：Her husband在文章中出现的地方，从而可以很容易地找到本题地依据句“Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up，but she just wouldn't listen.”本句话的主要意思为丈夫不让她为了中奖而购买不必要的东西，并不是不让她去商场。所以B选项错误；A和D选项内容在文中没有出现，属于无关信息。

People think a great deal of them, so【33】so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier.

People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other【39】by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of other side, and then【40】that that side which has killed most has won.
