问题     It used to be said that English people take their pleasure sadly.
    No doubt this would still be true if they have had any pleasure to【M1】______
take, but the price of alcohol and tobacco in my country has provided
sufficient external causes for melancholy. I have sometimes thought
that the habit of taking pleasure sadly has across the Atlantic, and I【M2】______
have wondered how it is that makes so many English-speaking people【M3】______
somber in their outlook in spite of good health and a good income. In
the course of my travels in America I have been impressive by a kind【M4】______
of fundamental malaise which seems to me extremely common and
which poses difficult problems for the social reformer. So when I look【M5】______
at the face of people in opulent cars, whether in your country and in【M6】______
mine, I do not see that look of radiant happiness which the aforesaid
social reformers had led me to expect. In nine cases of ten, I see【M7】______
instead a look of content and an almost frantic longing for anything【M8】______
that might tickle’ the jaded palate. But it is not only the very rich who
suffer in this way. Professional men very frequently feel hopeless【M9】______
thwarted. There is something that they long to do or some public
object that they long to work. But if they were to indulge their wishes【M10】______
in these respects, they fear that they would lose their livelihood. [br] 【M3】
选项
答案 how→what
解析 语法错误，先行词误用。此处应用what引导宾语从句，表示“是什么”而非“如何”。整句意思是说“我一直想弄清是什么使得英语国家的人们尽管有良好的健康和不错的收入，他们对前景依然觉得悲观”。
