5、 21-year-old IT technician serving in the Massachusetts Air National Guard, who was arrested and charged last week seems to have been motivated less by ideology than a simple desire _10_(show) off.

10、espectful” body language, or _10_ she “singlehandedly ruined the big day by smiling too much or looking too attractive or, perish the thought, holding her husbands hand, the absolutely sicko”. Instead, she can enjoy the event from the comfort of her sofa, like the rest of us.【The Week UK(April 22, 2
11、023)】Throughout its 184-year history, the Grand National（全国越野障碍赛马）has reliably produced equal quantities of “drama and danger”.

13、s steeplechase” finally got under way, 15 minutes later than _6_(schedule), it proved both exhilarating and distressing.
