本题为英语选词填空题，需结合句子结构分析空缺处的语法成分，确定所需词性，再辨析括号内单词的词性、用法及词形变化，匹配恰当选项。具体思路：先判断每空需的词性，再对比括号内单词的词性，结合语境、名词单复数等细节选出正确答案。
【解析】
(1) “a sense of”后需接名词构成名词短语，pride是名词（骄傲），proud是形容词（骄傲的），故选pride；
(2) 定冠词“the”后需接表示人的名词，carry是动词（搬运），carrier是名词（搬运工），故选carrier；
(3) 助动词“will”后需接动词原形，serve是动词（端上），service是名词（服务），故选serve；
(4) 空缺处修饰动词“arrived”，需用副词，exact是形容词（准确的），exactly是副词（准确地），故选exactly；
(5) 不定冠词“a”后需接名词，greeting是名词（问候），greet是动词（问候），故选greeting；
(6) 对应“customers’”（复数概念），需用名词复数，address是单数，addresses是复数，故选addresses。

Ask Abella!
Dear Abella,
I always want to be a police officer. It’s really cool to wear a police uniform!
Now I’m 18 years old and I will go to college next year. But I don’t know which major (专业) to choose. For me, it’s time to realise my dream as I really want to keep people safe and protect the society. For my father, he has advised me to be a lawyer like him many times. If I choose to be a police officer, he will probably be unhappy or even angry. What should I do?
Anne
Ask Abella!
Dear Abella,
I’m a farmer. I have been doing the job for more than 30 years. It’s wonderful to work in the sun and watch vegetables grow in the field. But now I want to be an artist. It sounds crazy, but I have been dreaming of the job for years. I am always good at art. Now I’ve got the Visual Arts Graduate Certificate (视觉艺术毕业证书). Maybe I should sell the farm to start my new life. But my wife might be angry. I don’t know how to talk with her.
John
