问题     Road rage, office rage, and even relationship rage are familiar
to us. But now idleness rage has emerged. Frequently I hear people
who complain about the idleness of young people. Often their【M1】______
complaints reach a feverish pitch. What’s behind this rage? Some
people fear we’re spawning a lazy generation. But there is more【M2】______
likely that our fast-pace culture blinds us to the need to slow down.【M3】______
    Recent studies have revealed that North Americans take
significant less vacation time than people in European countries.【M4】______
The same studies indicate that people have a hard time leaving
work when they go away. It seems there’s always another e-mail to【M5】______
check in or a telephone call to make. This has consequences for【M6】______
family life. And it points to a deep fear: We’ll be punished if we
stop working. The art of doing nothing could seem peculiar to
some. But in our wired world it’s easy to slow down. Sometimes it【M7】______
takes mental discipline to be idle. Multitasking and instant
communication have given us many benefits. And they also【M8】______
produce frazzled nerves, sleep problems, strained relationships,
irritability, and drug independencies. That’s why it’s important for【M9】______
people to rejuvenate themselves by slowing down.
    If we value healthy living, creativity, and peace of mind, we
should recognize the need to be idle. By doing such, we may【M10】______
discover the benefits of simply watching a sunset.
【M9】
选项
答案independencies一dependencies
解析 语篇错误。本句继续讨论(计算机)多任务处理功能和即时通讯的负面影响，drug independencies表示“不依赖药物”，显然不属于负面影响范畴，故改成dependencies。全句意为“造成了神经疲惫、睡眠问题、人际关系紧张、易怒和对药物的依赖”。
