The right to pursue happiness is issued to Americans with their birth cer
tificates, but no one seems quite sure which way it ran. It may be we are is
sued a hunting license but offering no game. Jonathan Swift seemed to think (1)______
so when he attacked the idea of happiness as "the possession of being well-
deceived", the felicity of being "a fool among knaves". For Swift saw the so- (2)______
ciety as Vanity Fair, the land of false goals. It is, of course, un-American to
think as terms of fools and knaves. We do, however, seem to be dedicated to (3)______
the idea of buying our way to happiness. We shall all have made it to Heaven
when we possess enough. And at the same time the forces of American com
mercialism are hugely dedicated to make us deliberately unhappy. Advertising (4)______
is one of our major industry, and advertising exists not to satisfy desires (5)______
also to create them—and to create them faster than any man’s budget can (6)______
satisfy it. For that matter, our whole economy is based on a dedicated (7)______
insatiability. We are taught that to possess is to be happy, and then we are
made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. It was only a few years
ago, to cite a single example, which car dealers across the country were fly- (8)______
ing banners that read "You Auto Buy Now". They were calling upon Ameri
cans, as act approaching patriotism, to buy at once, with money they did not (9)______
have, automobiles they did not really need, and which they would be required
to grow tired by the time the next year’s models were released. (10)______
选项
答案
industry—industries
解析
名词数的错误。主语advertising虽是单数,但是谓语中出现one of,表示“……之一”。后面必须用复数名词。
