a long 43 before the man answered, “yeah, i guess so. what are you 44 for them?” “twenty-five cents each.” “well, i suppose that would be 45 enough if you help me get my truck out of here,” the man said. it turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an awful, perhaps violent incident had been 46 . after they left, mr. ingram smiled and said to me, “son, if you dont forgive your 47 ,

study of 1,000british people has been done by chris,a british professor and director of the sleep assessment and advisory service in the uk.it looked at the six most common sleeping positions and which personalities tend to match them.have a look. 1. fetus (胎儿) position this is the most common sleeping position. about 41 percent of the participants said they sleep in this position. these sleepers may appear to be strong but they are usually sensitive (敏感的) and shy. the more they curl (蜷缩) up, the more worried they are. 2. log position (树干睡姿) this is the second most common position. people who sleep like a log are usually stubborn. 3. yearner position (向往型睡姿) this position says that you are open-minded and eager (急切的) to face challenges. 4. soldier position these sleepers lie on their backs with their arms down and close to the body. they are usually reserved and quiet. 5. freefall position people who sleep in this position are outgoing (外向的) but feel a lack of control in their lives. this is the least comfortable position. 6. starfish position people who sleep like this are good listeners, helpful, and uncomfortable being the center of attention.56. what is the main idea of this passage? a. sleeping position decides personality. b. sleeping position reflects personality. c. what the six different sleeping positions are like. d. different people have different

starfish position may feel uneasy when focused on. 59. what does the underlined word “participants” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? a. fetus b. british people c. people surveyed d. sleepersbwhen i was growing up, i was ashamed to be seen with my father. he was severely disabled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. if he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.it was difficult to coordinate（协调）our stepshis slow, mine impatientand because of that, we didnt say much as we went along. but as we started out, he always said, “you set the pace. i will try to adjust to you.”he never talked about himself as an object of sympathy, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. what he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. i believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though i still dont know accurately what a “good heart” is. unable to join in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. i now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. when i played ball (poorly), he “played” too. when i joined the navy, he “joined” too. and when i came home on leave, he saw to it that i visited his office. introducing me, he was really saying, “this is my son, but it is also me, and i could have done this, too, if things had been different.” those words were never said aloud.he has been gone many years now, but i think of him often. i wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. if he did, i am sorry i never told him how sorry i was, how unworthy i was, how i regretted it. i think of him when i complain about small affairs, when i am envious of anothers good fortune, when i dont have a “good heart”.at such times i put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “you set the pace. i will try to adjust to you.”60. the author felt unhappy walking with his father because _. a. he felt sympathy for his fathers physical disability b. it was hard for them to walk at the same pace c. he didnt want others to know he had an ugly father d. it was not easy for his father to keep balance61. in the fathers view, the most important quality a good person should have is _. a. beautiful appearanceb. excellent health c. a smart headd. a good heart62. it can be inferred from the text that _. a. the father was proud of his only son b. the father took part in all his sons activities c. the author was upset when asked to his fathers office d. the author was an outstanding player63. according to the last paragraph, by saying “you set the pace. i will adjust to you.” the author means that _. a. he is now glad to help his father to walk b. he regrets his unwillingness to walk with his father c. he will follow fathers standards of being a good man d. he will never forget how mentally strong his father wascswim birthday parties
