问题     The government’s continuing failure to address our nation’s
gut-wrenching unemployment stems from a fundamental
disagreement over how jobs are created in the first place.
    We are now in the third year of policies predicated on the
assumption that government spending creates jobs. We have been【M1】______
squandered three years and trillions of dollars of the nation’ s
wealth on such policies, and they have not worked so they cannot【M2】______
work. Government cannot inject a single dollar into the economy if【M3】______
it has first taken that same dollar out of the economy.
    True, we can see the job that is saved or created when the
government puts that dollar back into the economy. That we can’t【M4】______
see clearly are the jobs that are destroyed or prevented from
forming because government has first taken that dollar out of the
economy. We see those millions of lost jobs in a chronic
unemployment rate and a stagnating economy.
    Government can transfer jobs from the production sector to【M5】______
the government sector by taking money from one and giving it to
the other. That’s the heart of the president’s plan to spend billions【M6】______
of dollars to hire more teachers and firefighters than police【M7】______
officers. But these temporal government jobs come at a steep【M8】______
price: every dollar spent on sustaining one of these jobs is a dollar【M9】______
taken from the same capital pool that would otherwise have been
available to productive businesses to invest creating permanent【M10】______
jobs.
【M5】
选项
答案production一productive
解析 词汇错误。production sector指的是生产部门。通常是企业里负责生产的一个部门，放在此处不符合上下文语义。这里是相对于government sector“政府部门”而言的一个概念，应该是productive sector，表示“生产性行业”。此句的意思是“政府可以把生产性行业的就业机会转移到政府部门。”
