问题     As she walked round the huge department store, Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always【S1】______with perfume.
    Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most【S2】______experience: people stepped on your toes, poked(戳)you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their【S3】______to get to a bargain ahead of you.
    Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on【S4】______"They are really silk," the assistant assured her, trying to【S5】______her. "Worth doubles the price." But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.  She moved on【S6】______and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a【S7】______. She found some good quality pipes on sale -- and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not【S8】______for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him.
    When she got home, with her small well-chosen present【S9】______in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially【S10】______mood, "Your father has at last to decide to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.

答案D
解析 由不定冠词a可知，空格处需填一个名词。由后面句子中：on sale和the prices可知一堆人是围在柜台前，所以选counter。
