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【S1】__________
up a large proportion of those are living alone, the newest crop of【S2】___________
singles are high earners on their 30s and 40s who increasingly view【S3】____________
living alone as a lifestyle choice. "The Swedish word for someone living
alone used to be ensam, which had connotations of being lonely," notes
Eva Sandsteadt, author of Living Alone in Sweden. "It was conceived as
a negative—dark and cold, since being together suggested warmth and【S4】_________________
light. But then came 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 Arroyo, a【S5】_________________
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. "I have deadlines【S6】_________________
which would make life with someone else fair difficult. " Only an Ideal【S7】_________________
Woman would make him change his lifestyle, he says. Kaufmann, an【S8】_________________
author of a recent book called The Single Woman and Prince Charming,
thought this fierce new individualism means that people expect more and【S9】_________
more of mates, so relationships don’t last long—if they start at all.
Eppendorf, a blond Berliner with a deep tan, teaches grade school in the
mornings. In the afternoon she sunbathes or sleeps, resting up for going
dancing. She says she’d never have wanted to do that her mother did—【S10】________________
give up a career to raise a family. Instead, "I’ve always done what
I wanted to do: live a self-determined life. "
【S8】

答案
去掉an
解析
冠词冗余。此处author of a recent book是Kaufmann的同位语,二者是完全对等关系,且具有独一性,故不需要使用冠词。
