This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think, about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. ____67___ They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also, responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. ____68____Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. ____69____And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Supporters of the measure argue that hunters need them to protect their hearing. B. The idea would, at best, place the convenience of gun owners over the safety of the public. C. Silencers don’t actually silence gunshots in the way they’re portrayed in movies, but they do lower the sound. D. However, these are hardly the encouraging calls for change that ought to happen. E. In gun control, US does a much worse job than Europe, where it is so strict that even terrorists have few channels to get hold of them. F. The measure would eliminate a system that has kept silencers out of the hands of criminals for more than 80 years.
Gun laws in America are already so weak, it must be tough to find ways to make them even looser. But you've got to give gun lobbyists(游说者) credit. They've come up with some new ideas and found friends in Congress to promote them, even as the nation is in deep sadness due to the 58 people killed at a music festival in Las Vegas. ________67________ . At worst, they would put innocent people and police officers in graver danger.

proposal getting the most attention is a move to make it easier to buy silencers. _______68_______. But when opponents argue that silencers will make it harder to hear gunshots, those same supporters insist it isn't so. Sorry, but they can't have it both ways.

Buyers must pass a criminal background check, turn over their fingerprints to the government, and pay a $200 fee. Silencers are registered, and transfers are tracked. ________69_______.
Two days after the Las Vegas massacre(屠杀), a group of House Democrats called on House Speaker Paul Ryan to ensure that the SHARE measure won’t be taken up by the House. But the best Ryan could know was, “I don’t know when it’s going to be scheduled.”
Ryan and other Republicans who have opposed every previous effort to pass gun measures said this week they'd consider banning \Las Vegas shooter used to make his semi-automatic weapon even more dangerous. Also the NRA talked favorably about \
Controlling gun violence should be at the top of Congress' agenda. Instead, according to the gun lobby’s demand, it is looking at weakening existing restrictions. That is pathetic.
