Passage 1
I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if I own a gun. \States, so do you own a gun?\I suppose it is a good question. You can't (1)______ TV without news about a robbery (2)______ a gun was used, more precisely, a pistol. America is unusual in its (3)______ to gun ownership (所有权). Most countries do not allow gun ownership. Those (4)______ to ordinary citizens' owning handguns often (5)______ the rates of crimes in other countries to the rates in the United States. The United States has (6)______ more crimes with guns than other countries where handgun ownership is not allowed. It is hard to (7)______ the fact that the country with the (8)______ rate of crime in the world is the easiest place to buy a gun.
Presently, many, (9)______ not most Americans, admit the need for tighter laws to control the ownership of handguns. And yet, most (10)______ efforts to make strict laws to keep guns out of the hands of would-be offenders are (11)______ by people who believe owning a gun is an American's right. When identifying a cause for the (12)______ of laws controlling gun ownership, many (13)______ blame to one organization (14)______, the National Rifle Association (国家枪支协会). It is one of the most (15)______ organizations in America and it (16)______ to it that public officials do not make laws that keep people (17)______ owning guns. The organization's public relations (18)______ is polished and effective, and its executives are well-connected in Washington, D.C. Persons representing this
organization often point out that criminals get access to guns through means outside of the law, (19)______, laws would not do much to reduce access to handguns. It should be noted that (20)______ the efforts of the National Rifle Association, some recent handgun laws have actually been passed in the United States, but it is hard to say accurately if the laws are working to reduce access to handguns by criminals.

Passage 1
When I tell people I am from New York City, they often ask me, \mugged?\The answer is no, but I may be a(n) (1)______. Unfortunately, I know several people who have been robbed of their wallet by someone with a pistol or knife, and some of them more than once. I don't think that this is because New York City is a more dangerous place than other cities. In fact, there are other cities with higher crime (2)______. More accurately, New York City is presently the 5th most likely major U.S. city in which to (3)______. New York City is a place where public buses and trains are used a lot. (4)______,
people do a lot of walking between their home or work and the bus or train and actually come in (5)______ with other people. This probably (6)______ a greater risk of (7)______ on the street. Most other cities are places where people use personal cars to (8)______ and so they don't come in face-to-face contact with as many people on the streets. I think being part of a community and using public buses and trains is (9)______ the extra risk. I mean that if I did live someplace else with fewer robberies, it would probably mean living in a place where I would be driving a car more. (10)______ the risk of getting robbed on the way home, I would be (11)______ risk of getting in a car accident.
Anyway, I like to think I haven't been mugged because I have made good (12)______ about my safety. Maybe, I am a little more (13)______ than some of my friends or I probably have just been fortunate in not having too many bad things (14)______ to me. There are a few simple things that I do, (15)______, to stay out of dangerous situations. A majority of robbers attack their victims at night in (16)______ that are not lit well and lack other people. I do what I can to avoid this type of area. Also, when going out at night, I try to go out with other people. During the day, I don't go (17)______ areas of town that I am not familiar (18)______ if I am alone, at least not areas that don't have a lot of people. When (19)______ through a parking lot, I try not to walk between parked cars. And finally, if something seems odd about a place or street, I go the other way. Those are the major things I do. It's (20)______ unusual. It is probably just common sense.

It is often (20)______ a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.

In the nineteenth century, the invention of the telegraph made it possible to send noises, signals, and even music over wires from one place to another. (1)______, the human voice had never traveled this way. Many inventors tried to find a (2)______ to send a voice over wires, and in 1876 some of their (3)______ were crowned with (使圆满结束) success.

It was after he had worked for months (16)______ he found ways to send something more (17)______ metallic twangs (“嘣”的一声) over the wires. Thinking Watson, his helper, was in the next room, Bell called, \next room. He was down in his laboratory, (19)______ to the receiver. To Watson's (20)______, he heard the words perfectly. He ran to tell Bell the news: the wires had carried Bell's voice perfectly.
