IV. 阅读下列短文，在空白处填写1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
“Line” is a simple, four-letter word, but it has many 41 （mean）, making a simple word complex.
Let’s say a friend of 42 （you）, Simone, is an accountant. She has a good job and is in line for 43 promotion at work. Simone doesn’t make much money. So, you hope she gets the high-level, better paying position.
But, Simone doesn’t feel the same way. She has dreams of becoming a professional singer. She takes voice lessons every night and joins a singing group on the weekends. These 44 （activity）change her lifestyle. She stays out late at night and comes in late to work. And she often sings at her desk! This 45 （behave）puts the likelihood of her promotion on the line.
Something “on the line” is at a critical point or is at risk. Sometimes when using this 46 （express）, a person says simply there is a lot on the line or too much on the line, meaning that much can be lost.
In fact, things get worse. She often leaves town for weeks at a time, touring around the country with her singing group. Now, her job is really on the line.
You walk the line between warning her about landing on the unemployment line and respecting her privacy. “Walk the line” has two meanings. 47 is to hold a position, usually on middle ground, between two very different 48 （choose）. The other meaning of walk the line is the one Johnny Cash sings about. In his song, he sings about behaving well with the love of his life.
“I find 49 very, very easy to be true. I find 50 （I）alone when each day is through. Yes, I’ll admit that I’m a fool for you. Because you’re mine, I walk the line.”
