It is hard to measure intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more【S4】______way.

Street crowds in Stockholm. Paris and New York move【S6】______and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace (except in the profitable, efficient city, the financial district).
Every stranger is【S7】______by the patient and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus: If the saleswoman is slow and the goods are out of【S8】______she will likely say, "oh dear, what a pity"; the rubbish collectors stop to chat (聊天) and call the housewives "Luv."

A) goods B) quickly C) production D) leisurely
E) is F) stock G) pleasant H) slowly
