_（1） Taking a taxi in a certain Eastem European country can be 31 shocking experience. It is said 32 some taxi drivers have metal wires stuck into the passenger seats. And 33 a button is pushed, the seat will give you an electric shock. These taxi drivers dont do this 34 fun. They do it to tourists 35 argue about the ridiculous fares they charge. Some drivers charge as much 36 ten times the legal fare.They have a secret switch which 37 (make) the meters much faster. If you refuse to pay, you are really in for a shock.In one case, a German woman had no 38 but to pay US $120 for a US $ 20 ride from the airport. She said that she was really taken for a ride, but what could she do? Besides the electric shock, she was verbally 39 (abuse) and threatened with physical violence.

Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear 31 spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves correctly with confidence and without hesitation. 32 , we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct.

My brother might save my letter; he might read it back to me years from now.E - mail is different. It is instant, traveling from point to point. ( 36 ) _ you dont print it out, the message doesnt physically exist. With e -mail, geography is no obstacle and time is not important. I can send (37)_ message to Kenya whenever I want to, and(38)_ gets there almost in a second. The ease of this kind of writing and sending probably makes for a different kind of communication. I can complain about the breakfast I had this morning or rattle on about friends and movies. That is ( 39) _ I am not so focused on style. The downside is, I might be less likely to say something deeper. My brother might glance at my mail, have a laugh, and then delete (40)_.（4） Storms_31_produced at least 13 tornadoes swept along New Mexicos border with Texas on Friday, _32_(destroy) homes and other buildings and injuring at least 16 people, several critically, authorities said.The _33_ (bad)damage was reported in the towns of Logan and Clovis, which are about 80 miles apart, police said.The tornadoes damaged several_34_(new) built buildings, toppled power lines _35_ sparked fires that were later extinguished in Clovis, police Lt.
