问题     Americans find it difficult to engage in any activity for pure
pleasure. We have to have a higher aim—a purpose—for every
moment of time. For example, children take classes or join clubs to
increase their self-esteem, build talent, or try out a potential career.
Adults attend parties to make business contacts, garden to rise【M1】______
vegetables, and mow the lawn to meet neighborhood standards.
I’m here to tell you about one of my guilt pleasures. It doesn’t cost【M2】______
a thing, takes a little time, and brings me lots of personal【M3】______
fulfillment. Best of all, you can indulge in it for sheer enjoyment.
    It is walking. There is something about walking that is
different from jogging. When I’m jogging, I’m instantly【M4】______
challenging myself to go farther or faster, sweat more, and breath【M5】______
harder. And when I’m walking, I’m taking time to go outside and【M6】______
put one foot in front of another while I look around, blink, and feel
the sun and the wind. When I walk, I am submerged myself in life. On【M7】______
walks, I confront myself, too. There’s avoiding my recent irrational【M8】______
response to the neighbor with straying trash or the petty argument I
started with my husband. While I walk, I put into perspective that【M9】______
is important to me.
    Artist Winslow Homer said, "The sun will not rise, or set,

sun’s movements besides on a walk—an opportunity to appreciate【M10】______
joy in the world for its very existence?
【M8】
选项
答案∧avoiding一no
解析 语篇错误。上一句提到“步行时，我不得不面对自己”，本句提及“回避自己因邻居乱倒垃圾或与丈夫争吵时的过激反应”，显然两句话自相矛盾，既然直面自己，那么应该是对自己的过激反应毫不回避，故应加上否定词no，双重否定表肯定。
