问题     Laziness is a sin, everyone knows that. We have probably all had 1.______
lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that
lazy people will never amount to something in life. But laziness can be 2.______
more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons
rather than simply wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be 3.______
lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so
distrustful in their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group 4.______
task for fear of ridicule or of having their idea stolen. These people who
seem lazy may be ruined by a fear of failure that prevents from fruitful
work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work; some people are so 5. ______
busy planning, sometimes plan great deals of fantastic achievements that 6,______
they are unable to deal with whatever "lesser" work on hand. Still the
other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely 7. ______
procrastinating rescheduling their day.
    Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators, some people
may look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, researching. We
should all remember that all the great scientific discoveries occur by 8,______
chance. Newton wasn’t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and
he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy"
build the car or stove we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused 9.______
by the worker’s taking time to check each step and to do his job rightly. So 10.______
be careful when you’re tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be
thinking, resting, or planning his or her next work.  
选项
答案simply——simple
解析 本题为副词误用。rather than相当于instead of，后接名词或动名词，如：I think I’ll have a cold drink rather than coffee．Why didn’t you ask for help，rather than trying to do it on your own?因此此处的wish是名词，而非动词，故应当采用形容词simple修饰。
