新标准大学英语(第二版)综合教程2 unit3 unit test

Last summer, I went on vacation to Spain. On only the second day, my wallet was stolen. It was a very (31)

time, and I was (32) frustrated and angered. At first, I was angry

I had lost the cash in my wallet. Then, I realized that the thief now had

my credit cards and ID card! With only a little practice, he or she could easily (33) my signature and make hundreds of (34) purchases.

standards or morals.

In contrast, professional workers in offices generally wore white dress shirts.
