问题     Developing a bad habit is easier than many might think. “You can
become addicted potentially anything you do, ”says Mark Griffiths, an【S1】________
addiction researcher at Nottingham Trent University in the UK,
“because addictions rely in constant rewards. ”Indeed, although【S2】________
definitions of addiction vary, there is a body of evidence that suggests
drug addictions and non-drug habits should share the same neural【S3】________
pathways. While only a hardcore few can be considered true technology
addicts, an entirely unscientific survey of the web, and of New Scientist
staff, has revealed what prevalent techno-addictions may have become. 【S4】________
    The web at particular has opened up a host of opportunities for【S5】________
overindulgence. Take Wikipedia. Updating the entries--something
anyone can do——has become almost a way of life for some. There are
more than 2, 400 “Wikipedians”, which have edited more than 4, 000【S6】________
pages each. “It’s clearly like crack for some people, ”says Dan Closely
at Cornell University in New York, who has studied how websites such
as Wikipedia foster a community. To committed Wikipedians, he says,
the site is less than a useful information resource；it’s the embodiment of【S7】________
an ideology of free information for all.
    E-mail is another area where things can get out of the hand. While【S8】________
e-mail has led to a revival of the habit of penning short notes to friends
and acquaintances, the ease with that we can do this means that we don’t【S9】________
always think hard enough about where our casual comments could end
up. This was the undoing of US broadcaster Keith Olbermann, who
earlier this year sent a private e-mail which he described a fellow【S10】________
MSNBC reporter as “dumber than a suitcase of rocks”. Unfortunately
for Olbermann. the words found their way into the New York Daily
News.
【S8】

答案去掉the
解析 冠词冗余。此处get out of hand是固定搭配，表示“失控”，没有定冠词the。
