17、 I was always told that once you get to college, your parents realize that you have been living 26 your own and can make your own decisions. This idea was rejected 27 I came home for Thanksgiving. At first, everything was going as 28 (smoothly) as possible. The first night I went to the Berkeley cam

I 30 (make) my own decisions how late a young man should stay out for several mo

19、nths. However much I tried to reason with my mother, she insisted things are different when I am home, and that they were the 31 paying my bills. And kids, this is true.

20、 it is best to sit back, shut up, and do 32 they ask. (B)A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply all these were important factors in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution, but they were not enough. Something else 33 (need) to start

21、the industrial process. That “something special” was men creative individuals 34 could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations.

26、ege have made what may be a critical decision: theyve stopped giving out new email accounts to incoming students. The officials realized that the students had already established digital 41 by the time they entered college, so the new email addresses were just not being used, but, 42 , the college w

27、ill offer forwarding (转发) services.Starting next year, freshman 43 at Boston College wont be given an actual email account complete with login and inbox, just an email address.

29、 start of a new trend.Can you even imagine a U.S. college student who didnt have an email address of their own by the time they were a freshman? Its 46 unheard of.

30、ther account to manage when they enter college.By going this 48 , there are still some challenges to overcome, though.

61、ss to sign cooperative agreements with Asian partners as a low-cost route to developing new airliners. Their potential Asian partners seem to be tripping over themselves to sign such agreements, as a low-cost route to acquiring new airliner technology. If they are not careful the two sides will end

62、up tripping over each other: the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain, the other by trying to break into a market which isnt big enough to sustain (忍受) it. Technology transfer works in a growing market, where the aspirations of the new entrant receiving that technology can be met through expansion. The airliner market is not such a device. Even the most optimistic projections of airliner sales for the next 20 years show that airliner manufacture can only be profitable if a small number of aircraft builders share the available sales. It follows that if new manufacturers come into
