Most work-related behaviors have multiple components. 2 one and the others become distorted. Travel on a London bus and you'll 3 see how this works with drivers. Watch people get on and show their tickets. Are they carefully inspected? Never. Do people get on without paying? Of course! Are there inspectors to 4 that people have paid? Possibly, but very few. And people who run for the bus? They are 5 How about jumping lights? Buses do so almost as frequently as cyclists. Why? Because the target is 6 People complained that buses were late and infrequent. 7 ,the number of buses and bus lanes were increased, and drivers were 8 or punished according to the time they took.

选项 A.check
B.prove
C.recall
D.claim

答案 A

解析空格所在句句意：有没有检查人员来检查人们是否已经付款?在公交车上，检查员与乘客付钱买票的关系肯定是“检查”的关系，检查员需要检查乘客是否是购买了车票后乘车。prove意为“证明；证实”；recall意为“回忆起；回想起”；claim意为“宣称；声称”均不符合句意，check意为“检查；核查”符合句意，故选A。
