To Brown, solo living afforded the 1 to cultivate the self, furnish the mind and work late, and so on. Young women should enjoy their best years without a 2, she advised, as this not only laid the foundation for stronger marriages but gave them a lifestyle to fall back on 3 they found themselves alone again. Sensational at the time, Brown's counsel seems 4 now. Certainly both sexes have taken it to heart, marrying later, divorcing 5 and living alone in larger numbers than ever before. Yet little is known about the wider social effects of this unprecedented boom, writes Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist at New York University. His new book \"Going Solo\" offers a 6 look at the lures and perils of living alone. Mr Klinenberg parts with those who see the rise of solo living as yet another 7 of the decline of civic society. Now that marriage is no longer the ticket to adulthood, a desire to live alone is 8 reasonable, he writes. Young adults view it as a rite of passage, a period of personal growth before possibly settling down. Its cultural acceptance has helped to 9 women from bad marriages and oppressive families, 10 them a space to return to civic life.

解析：解析：空格前的句子主干完整，而空格后带了双宾语，因此可推断空格处应填入现在分词作状语。空格处现在分词的逻辑主语为Its cultural acceptance“文化上对独居的接受”，这能“给予”女性重返公民生活的空间。词库中的granting“赋予”符合要求。

Parents should follow those 1 because children younger than 13 are not developmentally 2 for the subtle differences of the social interactions on those sites. Social media are so interwoven with kids' lives, though, that to bar them from using the sites at all is not 3. In fact, if parents don't let their children use social media, they are not 4them with the skills they need to function in the digital world. Social networking today is really just a natural part of the way kids and teens are 5. They use social networking to 6 some of the natural

developmental issues that they are going through. But using social media can come at a cost when kids use it to bully or tease classmates, so it's important to teach children that they are 7 with real people online. Parents can use the chat functions on sites such as Webkinz, which is geared toward children ages 6 to 13, as a way to teach kids to be kind in the online world. It's also important to 8 how your child is reacting to social media to make sure they're not becoming obsessed with using it, or upset by things that they have seen. Trouble signs 9 kids who are acting withdrawn or are obsessive about social networking. If your child is only happy when using social media, or 10 sad after using it, those are signs that it is problematic. （分数：20.00）

Besides the obvious—don't be inappropriate with students through texting and Facebooking—we were 1 directed to \"always think and write like an educator\" and \"never use a blog to comment about your job duties\" and \"never blog or write about extremely personal 2\". The handout told us that any Facebook pictures that show \"the use of alcohol or anything students are prohibited from doing,\" could 3 discipline. All of this is because \"community members may hold you to a 4 standard of conduct than the 5 person.\" It is also advised that teachers should refrain from \"discussion or revealing to students personal matters about their private lives\" making me 6 every piece of writing I have ever shared with my students. Educators have been expected to be superheroes for a while now, 7 poverty, dysfunction, immense curriculums, and time. But now we are expected to be the faultless and faceless 8 opinions or personal lives. I understand the Public Face and I have gotten pretty good at wearing it And I 9am not forgiving inappropriate behavior with or around children. But with policies like this, I am afraid to buy beer at the grocery store or wear clothes that break dress code out in public on hot days. But while the rest of the population gets to 10 into their averageness(even President Obama can drink beer in public without losing his job), teachers are expected to live their average lives behind closed doors. （分数：20.00）

When we set up our bibliotherapy service through The School of Life in 2008, our 2 was obvious: to show people that books, and particularly novels, not only have the 3 to lift spirits, but to effect fundamental psychological shifts, healing and enriching the heart, the intellect and the soul in extraordinary ways. But you could 4 that someone with depression would struggle to make their way to the library, let alone put a spring in their stride, simply by the offer of some mood enhancing reads. One of the things we have found as bibliotherapists is that clients with depression 5 a therapeutic book require a very individualized prescription. Some may want a book that offers some escape—in which case the odd English humour of Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle may do the trick. But others may 6 with impatience to anything that seems too unlike real life.

There are few greater pleasures in life than discovering a novel that 8 back a world you recognise—and yet takes you into a deeper experience of that world. And research has shown that reading can be highly effective in 9 stress. We find Henry James a 10 way to order your mind when everything becomes too much—the literary equivalent of Beethoven or Bach. （分数：20.00）
