填空题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
1
home from work in the evenings. A man will be
2
the newspaper, and seconds later it appears as if he is trying to eat it. Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger
3
next to him. Another place where unplanned short sleep goes on is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring(打鼾) so
4
that the professor has to ask another student to
5
the sleeper awake. A more embarrassing(尴尬) situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and the
6
of the head pushes the arm off the desk, and the movement carries the
7
of the body along. The student wakes up on the floor with no
8
of getting there. The worst time to fall asleep is when driving. Police reports are full of accidents that occur when people fall into sleep and go off the roa d. If the drivers are
9
, they are not seriously hurt. One woman"s car, for example, went into the river. She woke up in four feet of water and thought it was raining. When people are really
10
, nothing will stop them from falling asleep—no matter where they are.

填空题Complaining about faulty goods or bad service is never easy. But if something you have bought is
1
or doesn"t do what was claimed for it, you are not asking for a favor to get it put right. Complaints should be made to a

person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain direct. In a chain store ask to the manager. If you telephone, ask the name of the person who
