参考答案【正确答案：C】
【译文】应邀的人数是50人，但他们中有些人由于不同的原因缺席了。
【解析】but前面分句的主语是the number,括孤部分是介词短语of...作其后置定语，故谓语动词应与The number保持一致，用单数形式was；而but后面分句的a number of...则是固定短语，意思是“一些（ = some)”，后接可数名词复数或代词，谓语动词须用对应的复数形式，故选C。

- 10 【英译汉】 Most people would define optimism as being endlessly happy, with a glass that’s perpetually half fall. But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality.” says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor. According to Ben-Shalar, realistic optimists are these who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best. Ben-Shalar uses three optimistic exercises. When he feels down—say, after giving a bad lecture—he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction. He analyzes the weak lecture, learning lessons, for the future about what works and what doesn’t. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life, one lecture really doesn’tmatter.
