Passage 2  (宁夏银川一中2008届高三第三次模拟考试)  完形填空

We are always hearing about road accidents, and when we are in the car we try to drive carefully. But, how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? A large ——36—— will tell you the number of accidents that happened in the home is almost the same as those on the ——37——.  I don’t pretend to be ——38——, but I’ve thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to ——39—— them.

One of the most common and most dangerous ——40—— at home accidents is wrong and careless use ——41—— electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or ——42—— out a plug without first turning off the ——43——. In spite of warning, one ——44—— carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a ——45——. Sometimes one forgets to turn off the power ——46—— mending a lamp or something ——47——. All this can cause accidents. So the ——48—— about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you ——49—— anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually ——50——.

If you’ve got ——51—— in the house, it’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their ——52——. otherwise, they may be taken for candies or new kinds of drinks. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular ——53—— in a number of ways in order to make them ——54—— and happy.  ——55——, of course, is always a risk. So, remember to turn it off after cooking. Also, don’t forget to keep the children away from the cooker.

Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
