参考答案

1.A解析：根据题干中的信息词expected和tobesafe定位到第二个小标题下的第一段，可知许多人都依赖于自己的药物，并期望那些药是安全的，特别是当药费非常高时，故该句表述正确。

2.constantcontactwithconstantcontactwith解析：从“Recruitersmaintainconstantcontactwiththeirstudentsanduseavarietyofmethods，includingsigningbonusesjustlikeproathletes，totrytocoaxthemtosignonthebottomline．”可以得出答案。

3.integrityintegrity解析：参见第3个小标题Wherearetheparents下的最后1行：Wehearsooftenthatweshouldtalktokidsaboutsex，smoking，drunkdriving，butdoweeverhearabouttalkingtokidsaboutintegrity?"．由此可知，父母喜欢和孩子们谈论性、吸烟及酒后驾车问题而不愿谈论诚实。

4.theamygdaletheamygdale解析：定位到第九段；这一段讲的是扁桃体的作用——能很快刺激身体系统快速做出反应来应对危险，故得答案。

5.toomanycircuitsarerequestedatonetimetoomanycircuitsarerequestedatonetime解析：文章第六段中提到当许多线路在同一时间被使用时，电话就会被阻止。
