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,
without my notice and my thanks." Where else can you notice the
sun’s movements besides on a walk—an opportunity to appreciate【M10】______
joy in the world for its very existence?
【M3】
选项
答案a(little)一去掉a
解析 词汇错误。前面提到“不花一分钱”，接下来讲花费的时间，应该是延续前一句的意义表否定，强调步行这一爱好也不需要花费很多时间，而alittle修饰不可数名词，意为“少量，少许”，表示肯定，故删掉a，用否定含义的词little表示“几乎没有”。
