※ 빈칸에 들어갈 표현으로 가장 적절한 것은? (19~20)
Human nature has many curious traits, but one of the most curious is __________. No one thinks it a fine thing to have a motor car that is perpetually going out of order: people do not boast that after a long run their car is completely useless for several weeks, or that it is perpetually developing strange troubles which even the most skillful mechanics cannot put right.

fear of diseases

interests in motor cars
