问题     Most people manage to return from their holidays with a couple of amusing anecdotes.
Not many will admit they’ve had a bad time. But very few holiday-makers return with 【M1】______
at least a private grievance or two. Leave aside genuine matters of complaint— 【M2】______
over-booking airlines, shoddy hotels, tacky resorts—most people who suffer bad 【M3】______
holidays have only themselves to blame. You shouldn’t fall into the trap of obliging

Why, for instance, does the philistine who never sets feet in a British museum 【M4】______
explicably feel compelled to visit a succession of Romanesque churches instead of 【M5】______
more honestly enjoying a lazy day on the beach? How come the 40-fag-a-day
sedentary lifestyler suddenly feels fit enough to handle a hiking, cross-country 【M6】______
skiing or scuba-diving holiday?
    An early American travel brochure once advertised a Caribbean holiday by

real low over four others". Over-ambitious schedules are another common cause of
disappointment. Never lose sight of geographical realities. Such holidays are every

globe when all you really want from your summer holiday can be had close by? 【M10】______
【M3】
选项
答案over-booking—over-booked
解析 (此处指“超额预定的航班”，overbook“超额订出，预订过多”与airline之间为被动关系，因此把over-booking改为over-booked。)
