【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清整篇文章的叙事逻辑：本文讲述了一位智者面对反复抱怨却不肯采纳建议的人们，用反复讲同一个有趣故事的方式点醒众人，告诉大家反复抱怨毫无意义，要对自己的人生负责的道理。解题时不需要急于逐个选答案，先把握整体主旨后，每一道题都回到上下文寻找对应的线索提示，结合词义辨析、逻辑关系匹配来排除不符合语境的选项，选出最贴合上下文逻辑的答案，比如后文反复出现的“over and over again”就对应了反复抱怨的是相同的事，后文出现的“laughed”也能对应故事的属性，顺着线索推导就能顺利得出所有答案。
【解析】
1. 根据前文“He usually listened to people's problems”以及后文多次出现的“gave good advice”的提示，智者倾听人们的问题，目的是给出建议，选A。
2. 后文出现“over and over again”（一遍又一遍），说明人们反复抱怨的是相同的事情，选B。
3. 智者给出好的建议，目的是帮助人们解决他们的问题，符合语境，选D。
4. 根据后文“most people just enjoyed complaining”的提示，人们只喜欢抱怨，从来不会真正采纳他的建议，选D。
5. 前文说人们不采纳建议，后文“most people just enjoyed complaining”是对前文实际情况的补充说明，“In fact（事实上）”符合逻辑，选B。
6. 前文提到人们不采纳智者的建议，说明他们不想听从智者的话，“listen to（听从）”符合语境，选C。
7. 后文介绍了智者想到的应对反复抱怨的人的方法，说明智者想出了一个好主意，“idea”符合文意，选C。
8. 根据后文“The first time they heard... they laughed”的提示，这个故事能让人发笑，说明是有趣的故事，选B。
9. 此处代词指代上文提到的“story”，指代单数事物用it，选A。
10. 句意为：当他们再次带着旧的抱怨回来时，智者就会给他们讲同一个老故事，“When（当……的时候）”引导时间状语从句符合逻辑，选D。
11. 随着智者反复讲同一个故事，终于有人忍不住提出了质疑，“Finally（最终、终于）”符合叙事顺序，选A。
12. 前文有人向智者提出了问题，此处是智者回答对方的问题，“answered”符合语境，选C。
13. 智者反问对方：如果你不能一遍又一遍地因为同一个故事发笑，那你为什么总是一遍又一遍地抱怨同一件事呢，询问原因用why，选B。
14. 后文并列的“won't solve it”表示不愿解决，对应此处是“不能解决”，“can't”符合并列逻辑，选A。
15. 句意为：记住你要为自己的人生负责，世界是你自己创造的，“Remember”贴合文章传递的道理，选D。
