问题     It used to be said that English people take their pleasure sadly.
    No doubt this would still be true if they have had any pleasure to【M1】______
take, but the price of alcohol and tobacco in my country has provided
sufficient external causes for melancholy. I have sometimes thought
that the habit of taking pleasure sadly has across the Atlantic, and I【M2】______
have wondered how it is that makes so many English-speaking people【M3】______
somber in their outlook in spite of good health and a good income. In
the course of my travels in America I have been impressive by a kind【M4】______
of fundamental malaise which seems to me extremely common and
which poses difficult problems for the social reformer. So when I look【M5】______
at the face of people in opulent cars, whether in your country and in【M6】______
mine, I do not see that look of radiant happiness which the aforesaid
social reformers had led me to expect. In nine cases of ten, I see【M7】______
instead a look of content and an almost frantic longing for anything【M8】______
that might tickle’ the jaded palate. But it is not only the very rich who
suffer in this way. Professional men very frequently feel hopeless【M9】______
thwarted. There is something that they long to do or some public
object that they long to work. But if they were to indulge their wishes【M10】______
in these respects, they fear that they would lose their livelihood.
【M4】
选项
答案impressive→impressed
解析 词汇错误。此处应用动词impress的过去式impressed，表被动，impressive“给人深刻印象的”在此说不通。
