Who can we turn to for wisdom? In studies in which participants were asked to nominate individuals that they thought wise, the average age for nominees was about 60. Nominees in one specific study included such old-timers as Gandhi, Socrates, Queen Elizabeth, and the Pope. However, we all know a few elderly people who lack wisdom, while we may know a few young people that have great wisdom. In addition, when wrinkles begin appearing on the face, it usually means that wrinkles have started disappearing on the brain. That leads to a normal decline in cognitive function that may eventually develop into mental disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Accordingly, the studies so far show the public has the misconception that wisdom always comes _________________________.
① at the peak of health
② with formal education
③ at a later stage in life

⑤ by seeking the truth

I understand restaurant real estate is expensive, but the closely-spaced table situation is getting a little out of control. This isn't an airline economy class seat. This is a restaurant! Some people need to use the restroom from time to time. Let's not even get started on the fire hazards. The other night I dined at a restaurant. The plan was to catch up with a friend and not to make new ones. We were seated next to two college students who had recently had an argument over a "misunderstood" text. Apparently, Colby is lightly more sensitive than James. Why do I know all this? Because I was practically sitting on their laps. I'm sure that every restaurant customer, including myself, deserves ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
① soft music ② good service
③ personal space ④ a lively atmosphere
⑤ accidental encounters

Past generations had the luxury of taking the essential childhood experience of playing for granted. The streets used to be filled with kids playing into the twilight hours. Today, front yards are empty and the street is quiet. We are facing a rising tide of scheduled childhoods born from a culture of ＿＿＿＿＿. No one I know allows their young child to explore the woods, wander local neighborhoods or ride a bike across town without supervision. Children can't play in their own front yards without parents' sitting on guard at the window. Today's parents accept that it is their job to keep their children from harm at the expense of everything else. So they schedule them in sports and dance and after-school programs where they believe their kids' safety is guaranteed.
① fear ② greed ③ violence
④ addiction ⑤ selfishness

By saying you are "back to square one," you mean that you have to ＿＿＿＿＿. Presumably it's linked to the early days of radio broadcasting in Britain. The first radio commentary on a football match was broadcast by the BBC in 1927. To help listeners visualize the playing field and where the players and ball were, the producer, Lance Sieveking, divided the field into eight numbered squares. Whenever a game was restarted from a goal kick, it would be probably in square one. Another suggestion for the origin of this phrase is from a board game called snakes and ladders, in which the snakes on the board can return the unlucky player back to the first square on the board.
① finish last ② get ahead ③ fall behind
④ start again ⑤ win instantly

Lightweight, convenient, and offering hundreds of titles in your pocket, the e-book is surely a perfect invention. It can't even annoy your fellow-travelers on public transport. But it has a rarely known defect to ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿. A few days ago, sipping a coffee at a cafe, I finished reading the last page of my book and then switched to my iPod Touch. Just then, the pretty girl at the next table turned around and, with a cute smile, asked what I was doing. The moment she found I was reading an e-book on my iPod, she just lost interest and turned away. So my theory was proved correct again that while a handsome young man reading a paperback at a cafe would attract the ladies, an intellectual man reading an e-book would not.
① disturb silence ② worsen memory
③ cause arguments ④ destroy romance
⑤ distract attention

We probably feel that `sorry' seems to be the hardest word. However a recent survey produced the statistic that the average British person will say sorry almost two million times in his or her lifetime. It found that on many occasions people use the word `sorry' to tell others that they don't have time to do something. They also use it as a substitute fo
