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.
A reporter who has visited plants throughout Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here. Nobody tries too hard. Tea【S3】______do matter and are frequent. 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." Crime rises here as in every city but there still【S9】______a gentle tone and temper that is unmatched in Berlin, Milan or Detroit.
In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right. Having reached a tolerable standard, Britons appear to be choosing leisure over【S10】______.
A) goods B) quickly C) production D) leisurely
E) is F) stock G) pleasant H) slowly
I) struck J) product K) over L) remains
M) breaks N) productivity O) with [br] 【S7】
选项
答案
I
解析
根据句子结构,此处应填一动词过去分词形式,词库中只有struck符合这一语法结构。因此答案为I。本句意为:任何一个外国人都会为英国人在排队等车时那种耐心而有序的方式感到震惊。
