For any given task in Britain there are more men than women are needed. Strong unions keep them there in Fleet Street, home of some London’s biggest dailies. It is understood that when two unions quarrel【S1】______three jobs, the argument is settled by giving each union two. That means 33 percent over-manning, 33 percent less【S2】______than could be obtained.

It is hard to measure intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more【S4】______way.
But is all this so terrible? It certainly does not improve the gross national product or output per worker. Those observant visitors, however, have noticed something else about Britain. It is a【S5】______place.
Street crowds in Stockholm. Paris and New York move【S6】______and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace (except in the profitable, efficient city, the financial district).
Every stranger is【S7】______by the patient and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus: If the saleswoman is slow and the goods are out of【S8】______she will likely say, "oh dear, what a pity"; the rubbish collectors stop to chat (聊天) and call the housewives "Luv."
