McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.

　　“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people，” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick.“You have neither regret，nor shame，nor any sense of guilt.”

　　The detectors，sold for up to $42，000 each，were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under

　　water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.

　　McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong，the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.

　　“I never had any bad results from customers，”he said.

　　39．Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?

　　A. He sold bombs.

　　B. He caused death of people.

　　C. He made detectors.

　　D．He cheated in business.

　　40．According to the judge, what McCormick had done

　　________.

　　A. increased the cost of safeguarding

　　B. lowered people's guard against danger

　　C. changed people's idea of social security
