单选题 One type of person that is common in many countries is the one who always tries to do as little as possible and to get as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who has 1 for doing more that is strictly 2 and who is ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare everywhere.
Both these types are entirely different in their behavior. The man who 3 is always talking about his "rights"; he thinks that society should 4 him a pleasant, easy life. The man (who is always doing more than share) talks of "duties"; he feels that the 5 is in debt to society.
The man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of 6 . For instance, if he has 7 to do something, it was because he was 8 by bad luck. His opposite is never too busy to take on a (an) extra piece of work. So it is 9 that if you want something done in a hurry, go to the busiest man whom you have 10 in.
