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.(1)____  often their complaints reach a feverish pitch. what's behind this rage? some people fear we're spawning a lazy generation. but there is more likely that our fast-pace culture blinds us to the need to slow down. (2)____ (3)____ recent studies have revealed that north americans take significant less vacation time than people in european countries.(4)____the same studies indicate that people have a hard time leaving work when they go away.(5)____ it seems there's always another e-mail to check in or a telephone call to make.(6)____ this has consequences for 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 takes mental discipline to be idle.(7)____  multitasking and instant communication have given us many benefits. and they also produce frazzled nerves, sleep problems, strained relationships, irritability, and drug independencies. (8)____ (9)____ that's why it's important for 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 discover the benefits of simply watching a sunset.(10)____

1.who→who語法錯誤。本句是hear sh. do sth.的句式，表示“聽到有人抱怨年輕人無所事事”。此處不是定語從句修飾people，否則意思就是“我經常聽到抱怨年輕人無所事事的人”，與上下文不符，故who是多餘的，應刪掉。
2.there→it語法錯誤。此處並不是there be結構，be likely that表示“有……可能”，that引導的從句是句子真正的主語，所以需要將形式主語it放在句首。
3.fast-pace→fast-paced詞彙錯誤。此處需要用形容詞修飾後面的culture，而fast-paced是由副詞加動詞過去分詞構成的複合形容詞，表示“快節奏的”。
4.significant→significantly詞彙錯誤。這裏significant不是用來直接修飾後面的vacation tune，而是表示程度，強調“北美人的休假時間比歐洲人少得多”，故用副詞significantly修飾形容詞less。
5.∧when→behind詞彙錯誤。leave表示“離開，留下”，在這裏搭配work與上下文不符，本句意爲“同一研究表明，人們很難下班後拙開工作”，這裏表示“丟棄”的含義，應該用固定搭配leave behind。
6.in→in詞彙錯誤。check in是固定詞組，表示“（在旅館、機場等）登記，報到”，此處不符合上下文語義。這裏不定式前面已經出現e-mail作check的賓語，表示“似乎總有電子郵件要查看”，所以check作及物動詞，表示“查看，檢查”，後毋需加介詞。
7.easy→difficult或∧easy→not語篇錯誤。根據上下文語境，前文提到“人們很難下班後拋開工作“，後一句提出“要想閒散下來需要在思想上約束自己才行”，由此可知人們想要放慢腳步，並非易事。注意uneasy的常用意思是“心神不安的，不自在的”，不要誤改爲這個詞。
8.and→but語篇錯誤。本句前半部分提到“（計算機）多任務處理功能和即時通訊給穩們帶來了很多益處”，後面挺到“也造成了神經疲憊，睡眠問題等”，從句子之問的邏輯關係來判斷，此處應該是轉折關係，故將and改成but。
9.independencies→dependencies語篇錯誤。本句繼續討論（計算機）多任務處理功能和即時通訊的負面影響．drug independencies表示“不依賴藥物”，顯然不屬於負面影響範疇，故改成dependencies，全句意爲“造成了神經疲憊、睡眠問題、人際關係緊張、易怒和對藥物的依賴”。
10.such→so詞彙錯誤。such和so雖然在意義上相近，但本句意思是說“通過這樣做，我們會發現欣賞日落的好處。”此處是用來代替上文中出現的內容，即we should recognize the need to be idle,而such不能替代整句話，只能用so。

都做對了嗎？雖然題目有些難度，但相信只要持之以恆，就一定會有所收穫的。
