17．There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere．We can see there is a lot of sleeping on the bus or train on the（41）Bhome from work in the evenings．A man will be （42）Athe newspaper，and seconds later it（43）Das if he is trying to （44）Dit．Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger （45）C next to him．（46）A place where unplanned short sleep（47）C is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring（打鼾）so （48）Bthat the professor has to ask another student to（49）Cthe sleeper awake．A more embarrassing（尴尬）situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and the（50）Cof the head pushes the arm off the（51）D，and the movement carries the（52）Aof the body along．The student wakes up on the floor with no （53）D of getting there．The worst time to fall asleep is when （54）B．Police reports are full of（55）C that occur when people fall into sleep and go （56）Athe road．If the drivers are（57）B，they are not seriously hurt．One woman's car，（58）B，went into the river．She woke up in four feet of（59）Aand thought it was raining．When people are really （60）D，nothing will stop them from falling asleep--no matter where they are．

16．There have been many great inventions，which have changed the way we live．The first great invention was （21）C that is still very important today-the wheel（轮子）．This made it easier to （22）A heavy things and to travel long distances．
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have as much （23）D as the wheel．Then in the early 1800's the world started to （24）C．There was little unknown land in the world．People did not （25）A to explore（探索） any more．They began to work so as to （26）C life better．
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made．（27）B them were the camera，the electric light and the radio．These all became a big （28）B of our life today．
The first part of the 20th century saw more great （29）D：the helicopter in 1909； movies with sound in 1926； the computer in 1928； and jet planes in 1930．This was also a time （30）A a new material was first made．Nylon （尼龙）came （31）A in 1935．It changed the （32）C of clothes people had been wearing．The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over （33）B．They worked very well．They made people healthier and let them live （34）B lives．By the 1960's most people could （35）B to live at least 60．
By this time most people had a very good life．Of course new inventions （36）Dto be made．But man now had a desire to explore again．The world was （37）D to man but the stars were not．Man began looking for ways to go into （38）A．Russia made the first step．Then the United States took a step．Since then other countries，（39）A China and Japan，have made their steps into space．
In 1969man took his biggest step away from the earth．Americans first walked on the moon．This is certainly just a （40）C thought．New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never dreamed of．

15．The world would be a better place if we all had children's eyes．This is not because children's eyes are too sharp to allow any blot（污点、瑕疵）to pass without being （36）C，but because adults have too many conflicting concerns to keep their eyes open to all wrongdoing．
Not long before，an examination，intended to （37）Dsome police officers to higher positions，was held in Gansu province．Someone （38）Bwith a good idea that 18primary pupils could be invited to act as invigilators （监考人）．At that age，students would do as they are told and act fearlessly．（39）A，they caught 25officers cheating on the spot，which has caused a stir （轰动，搅动） and （40）Cthe question of whether adult invigilators would （41）D their duties as well．
The implication of this event goes （42）B its impact on the work style of local police officers and the examinations．Most people said what these children have done points to the sad fact of （43）C being less trustworthy．If adults acted as invigilators，they would quite （44）A turn a blind eye to cheating．
We Chinese have been holding the （45）C that human nature was good at birth：as （46）A of blot as a sheet of blank paper，which can be（47）B with content （good or bad） in the process of growing up．Everything should be done on the basis of certain principles．（48）C，nowadays the repeated reports of cheating in examinations，selling ranks and （49）B and embezzling （挪用） public funds paint a （50）D picture of common social morals．Adults have become too concerned with their own personal gains to （51）A basic sense of principles．When no one （52）B any principle and the only concern is personal interest，everyone will （53）C，not only those who first break the rules．
Besides，cheats are unfair to honest examinees，and when the success of cheats（54）Bmore people to cheat，the consequences will be disastrous．
In a word，we adults need to have our eyes as （55）D as children's on matters of principle．

14．Sometimes，people are required to fill in personal information when they register online，which may lead to some（41）D trouble．Recently，the BBC is reporting that a 17-year-old girl in Australia posted a（n）（42）B of her grandmother at home counting a large sum of cash that she（43）Ahidden in the house．Just eight hours later，two armed men （44）Dthe girl's house．They demanded to speak to her to find out where the grandmother's house was，（45）Dthey could get the money they had seen．（46）B，the girl was not home at the time，so the robbers（47）C a small amount of cash from the mother and left．

11．As a general rule，all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine （常规） basis．As a matter of fact，we can see this （36）A at work in people of all （37）D．
For example，on Christmas morning，children are excited about （38）C with their new toys．But their （39）B soon wears off and by January those （40）A toys can be found put away in the basement．The world is full of （41）D stamp albums and unfinished models，each standing as a monument to someone's （42 ）B interest．When parents bring home a pet，their children （43）C bathes it and brushes its fur．Within a short time，however，the （44）B of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents．
Adolescents enter high school with great （45 ）D but are soon looking forward to （46）A．The same is true of the young adults going to college．And then，how many （47）C，who now complain about the long drives to work，（48 ）B drove for hours at a time when they first （49）B their driver's license？
Before people retire，they usually （50）D to do a lot of （51 ）A things，which they never had （52）A to do while working．But （53）D after retirement，the golfing，the fishing，the reading and all of the other pastimes become as boring as the jobs they （54）C．And，like the child in January，they go searching for their new"（55 ）B"．
