a. an honest and happy spirit. b. a famous and successful comedian. c. a smart person with a strange character. d. an ordinary person with a unique sense of humor.62. bill prady thinks that the main reason why people love sheldon is that _. a. they can relate to the character, as he is comfortable with his true self b. he represents the awkwardness and eccentricity that they dont dare admit c. they can always have a good laugh and learn something when watching the show d. he is played by jim parsons who successfully delivers the characters unique humor 63. what does the “good lesson” in the end of the passage refer to? a. its ok to be frank as long as it doesnt hurt others. b. being obtuse is also a way of showing ones true self. c. one who says hurtful things isnt necessarily a bad person. d. its important to be yourself without pretending to be someone else.64. which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage? a. sheldon can be very direct and sharp-tongued sometimes. b. the character of sheldon cooper is based on a real person. c. tom wakeley doesnt really like the show he thinks sheldon is stubborn. d. jim parsons made the greatest achievement in his career after winning the emmy award.bboston tourist attractions and sightseeingduck toursone of the most popular tours in and around boston are the legendary duck tours, which show you the best that the city has to offer, with a combined land and sea tour. world war ii vehicles take you on a scenic drive around the most famous sites and attractions in the city - and then actually into the charles river for a delightful harbor cruise. with interesting commentary (解说), his novel tour is an enjoyable and fun way to see the city and very much recommended.new england aquariumthe aquarium is home to over 7,000 fish, aquatic mammals, penguins, a coral reef and a collection of many different sea creatures, including several huge turtles, barracudas, stingrays and sharks. scuba-divers regularly feed the sharks and fish several times a day. visitors are able to get hands-on at the edge of the sea exhibit, where they can touch and handle sea stars, sea urchins and horseshoe crabs. the citys most visited tourist attraction is complete with exhibit space, gift shop and a caf with spectacular views of the city and harbor. it also offers whale-watching tours with indoor and outdoor seating - and even seal or walrus shows.boston public librarybuilt in 1848, the boston public library was the first free publicly supported municipal library in america, the first public library to lend a book and the first with a childrens room. with more than 650,000 photographs, 100,000 prints (some by rembrandt and toulouse-lautrec) and 250 different papers in the newspaper room, the library now has internet access, two restaurants and an on-line store with reproductions of its priceless artwork. all exhibits are open to the public and books are only the beginning.bull and finch pub - home of cheersthis world-famous pub is instantly recognizable as the inspiration for the hugely successful sitcom, cheers and is situated opposite the public garden. although the exterior is the same as on television, the inside is completely different. however, although unexpected, this is not a real disappointment as the busy pub is full of reminders of cheers. the menu serves typical bar food, and is very popular with tourists.if visiting family or staying at one of the luxury boston hotels downtown, you may want to consider purchasing a boston city pass as this will enable you to pay half price for most of the finest attractions.65. peter is currently traveling in boston, and he hopes to know the city as soon as possible. which one is the best choice for him?
