问题     Road rage, office rage, and even relationship rage are familiar
to us. But now idleness rage has emerged. Frequently I hear people
who complain about the idleness of young people. Often their【M1】______
complaints reach a feverish pitch. What’s behind this rage? Some
people fear we’re spawning a lazy generation. But there is more【M2】______
likely that our fast-pace culture blinds us to the need to slow down.【M3】______
    Recent studies have revealed that North Americans take
significant less vacation time than people in European countries.【M4】______
The same studies indicate that people have a hard time leaving
work when they go away. It seems there’s always another e-mail to【M5】______
check in or a telephone call to make. This has consequences for【M6】______
family life. And it points to a deep fear: We’ll be punished if we
stop working. The art of doing nothing could seem peculiar to
some. But in our wired world it’s easy to slow down. Sometimes it【M7】______
takes mental discipline to be idle. Multitasking and instant
communication have given us many benefits. And they also【M8】______
produce frazzled nerves, sleep problems, strained relationships,
irritability, and drug independencies. That’s why it’s important for【M9】______
people to rejuvenate themselves by slowing down.
    If we value healthy living, creativity, and peace of mind, we
should recognize the need to be idle. By doing such, we may【M10】______
discover the benefits of simply watching a sunset.
【M4】
选项
答案significant一significantly
解析 词汇错误。这里significant不是用来直接修饰后面的vacation time。而是表示程度，强调“北美人的休假时间比欧洲人少得多”，故用副词significantly修饰形容词less。
