YES! By Kiera Smithers

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了對于帶薪休假的兩種觀點，一種是支持帶薪休假，可以讓人更好地投入到工作中去；另一種是不贊成帶薪休假。

1.小題1】根據(jù)上下文，前文中提到帶薪休假，后文中問句詢問是否應(yīng)該要求補償，可知可能出現(xiàn)了什么問題使假期泡湯了。故選D。

2.小題2】根據(jù)上下文，前文中提到了一個新的規(guī)定，后文中有兩種看法。缺少的應(yīng)該是對這項規(guī)定的看法，即你認(rèn)為該規(guī)定公平嗎？這里的it就是指代前文中的a new rule。故選B。

3.小題3】根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)，可知這一段主要是支持該規(guī)定的語言，故選A。

4.小題4】根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)，可知最后一段主要是反對該規(guī)定的語言，而且段首應(yīng)該是總述全段的話，故選E。

5.小題5】根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)，可知這一段是反對該規(guī)定的語言，空格在中間，應(yīng)該是分述其中一個方面，故選C。
