问题     Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer,
took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea,
packing a small case and was never seen or heard of again.           【S1】______
Eileen was astonished and in a state of desperate. They              【S2】______
had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there
had been something wrong with their marriage.                        【S3】______
    Every day of the year a small group of men and
women quietly pack few belongings and without so much                【S4】______
as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last
time, leaving off their debts, their worries and their confused      【S5】______
families behind them.
    Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many
women were reporting missing from home--the highest in               【S6】______
15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others
rejected the past completely and are now living a new life
somewhere under a different identity.
    To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible
blow to his pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of           【S7】______
death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection
or failure. Better than that, people can be left with an              【S8】______
unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to
wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
    Clinical psychology Paul Brown believes most                      【S9】______
departures of this kind to be well planned would rather than          【S10】______
impulsive. "It’s typical of the kind of personality which
seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties.
Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive
act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel
guilty, upset and empty." [br] 【S6】
选项
答案 reporting→reported
解析 篇章理解错误。本句的意思是：“据报道，去年有1 200多名男子和1 200多名妇女离家出走。”句子的主语more than 1，200 men and nearly as many women，它与动词report之间是被动而非主动关系，因此此处应用被动语态。
