问题     Our era witnesses many cases  where  our own liberty
contradicts with others’. Here is an example to show this delicate issue.
An old lady was walking down the middle of a street in Petrograd
to the great confusion of the traffic and with small peril to herself. 【S1】________
This was pointed out to her that the pavement Was the place for【S2】________
pedestrians. but she replied：“I’m going to walk where I like. We’ve
got liberty now. ”It did not occur to the lady that if liberty entitled the
pedestrian to walk down on the middle of the road, then the end of such【S3】________
liberty would be universal chaos. Everybody would be geeing in
everybody else’s way and nobody would get nowhere. Individual liberty【S4】________
would have become social anarchy.
    There is a danger of the world getting liberty—drunk in these days
like the old lady, and it is just as well to remind ourselves of which the【S5】________
rule of the road means. It means that in order that the liberties of all
may be reserved, the liberties of everybody must be curtailed. When the【S6】________
policeman, say, at Piccadilly Circus steps into the middle of the road
and puts out his hand, he is the symbol not of tyranny, or of liberty. 【S7】________
You may not think so. You may, being in a hurry, and seeing your Car
pulling up by this insolence of office, feel that your liberty has been【S8】________
outraged. How dare this fellow interfere with your free use of the public
highway? Then, if you are a reasonable person, you will reflect that
when he did not interfere with you, he would interfere with no one, and【S9】________
the result would be that Piccadilly Circus would be the maelstrom that【S10】________
you would never cross at all.  
【S1】
选项
答案∧small—no
解析 语义错误。该句意为“一个老妇人走在彼得格勒的一条大街的中间，她引起了周围交通的极大混乱，也给自身带来了巨大的危险。”根据句意可知，老妇人不遵守交通规则的随意行走给自身的安全造成了危险，因此应改为with no small peril to herself。
