YES! By Kiera Smithers

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了对于带薪休假的两种观点，一种是支持带薪休假，可以让人更好地投入到工作中去；另一种是不赞成带薪休假。

1.根据上下文，前文中提到带薪休假，后文中问句询问是否应该要求补偿，可知可能出现了什么问题使假期泡汤了。故选D。

2.根据上下文，前文中提到了一个新的规定，后文中有两种看法。缺少的应该是对这项规定的看法，即你认为该规定公平吗？这里的it就是指代前文中的a new rule。故选B。

3.根据文章结构，可知这一段主要是支持该规定的语言，故选A。

4.根据文章结构，可知最后一段主要是反对该规定的语言，而且段首应该是总述全段的话，故选E。

5.根据文章结构，可知这一段是反对该规定的语言，空格在中间，应该是分述其中一个方面，故选C。
