Once upon a time, people who lived alone tended to be
those on either side of marriage—twenty something professionals
or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly
elderly women, making up a large proportion of those【S1】______
are living alone, the newest crop of singles are high earners【S2】______
on their 30s and 40s who increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle【S3】______

since being together suggested warmth and light. But then came【S4】______
along the idea of singles. They were young, beautiful, strong!
Now, young people want to live alone.
The booming economy means people are working harder than
ever. And that doesn’t leave much rooms for relationships. Pimpi【S5】______
Arroyo, a 35-year-old composer who lives alone in a house in Paris,
says he hasn’t got time to get alone because he has too much work.【S6】______
"I have deadlines which would make life with someone else fair【S7】______
difficult. " Only an Ideal Woman would make him change his
lifestyle, he says. Kaufmann, an author of a recent book called The【S8】______
Single Woman and Prince Charming, thought this very new【S9】______
individualism means that people expect more and more of mates, so
relationships don’t last long—if they start at all. Eppendorf, a blond

the afternoon she sunbathes or sleeps, resting up for going dancing.
She says she’d never have wanted to do that her mother did—give up【S10】______
a career to raise a family. Instead, "I’ve always done what I wanted
to do: live a self-determined life. "
【S4】
选项
答案
since—while
解析
连词误用。这里主句说“独居被认为是消极的:黑暗而又寒冷”;从句说“和别人同住则意味着温暖和光明”,可见主句与从句之间是对比关系,不是因果关系,因此应该使用while。
