     Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms; in fact, I have a positive horror of it. Applying for a driving license,  (51)   for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad—everything nowadays seems to involve  (52)   information about one’s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter  (53)  hand. When I apply for a job, it may be of some obscure interest to a  (54)   employer to learn that I collect stamps or had measles as a child, but why  (55)   he conceivably wants to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 1988?

Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear  (59)   lenses and my upper teeth are not my own, but perhaps the word “defects”  (60)   to my character. Am I supposed to  (61)   that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? Both of them are true.

B、witnesses
C、publications
D、announcements
答案A
