They robbed other ships and led exciting and 【C2】__________ (adventure) lives.They lived more than a hundred years ago and, although they were notorious, they were not completely wicked.This is the 【C3】__________(real) idea of pirates.The truth is very different.First, most pirates bore no 【C4】 res__________ to the storybook characters.They didn’t just rob other ships—they were murderers of the worst kind who killed for no【C5】rea __________.Second, pirates are not a thing of the past.There are probably as many—if not more-pirates on the seas today as there were in the past.Nowadays, however, they neither travel in sailing ships nor use swords.Modern pirates use fast motorboats and have machine guns and other 【C6】wea__________, which they use to kill the sailors and passengers on the ships that they attack.While pirates in history were usually caught and punished, most modern pirates are 【C7】ne__________caught because they are fast and there are too many of them.
