For any given task in Britain there are more men than are needed. Strong unions keep them there in Fleet Street, home of some London’ s biggest dailies, it is understood that when two【S1】______quarrel over three jobs, the argument is【S2】______by giving each union two. That means 33 percent over manning, 33 percent less productivity than could be obtained.
A reporter who has visited plants【S3】______Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here. Nobody tries too hard. Tea breaks do matter and are frequent. It is hard to【S4】______intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more leisurely way.
But is all this so【S5】______? It certainly does not improve the gross national product or output per worker. Those observant visitors, however, have【S6】______something else about Britain. It is a pleasant place.
Street crowds in Stockholm. Paris and New York move【S7】______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 struck by the【S8】______and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus: if the saleswoman is slow and out of stock 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【S10】______to be choosing leisure over goods.

答案
D

这里需要填一个动词原形。据原文,这个动词的宾语是“工作的紧张程度(intensity of work)”,可知F、C、L皆不合题意,而I、M、O形式不正确,故只能选D。
