      employed by burglars include removing window louvres and cutting

43)   The public has been inundated (泛濫)with a barrage of news reports on

      (careless, ignorant, forgetful, inattentive, negligent, unaware,
      unconscious, heedless; Antonym: mindful, aware. )– or perhaps,
      choose not to be aware – of this epidemic.
