to repay the moneyb hank viscardi was 26 years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes. for the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be a full five feet eight inches tall.hank had been born without legs. until he was seven, his world was a world of repeated operations. at last he had not legs, but stumps（残肢）that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. out of the hospital, hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest. children laughed at him and called him “ape man” because his arms dragged（拖）on the ground. he went to school like other boys. his grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve. after graduation, hank worked his way through college. he swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. during all this busy life, hank had been moving around on his stumps. but one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. hank would soon have to use a wheel chair. hank felt himself go cold all over. however, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial（人造的）legs.finally a leg maker was found and the day came when hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time, five feet eight inches tall.but this was not the end yet. he had to learn to use his new legs. again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. there were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. he went out on the street. he climbed the stairs and learned to dance. he built a boat and learned to sail it.when world war came, he talked the red cross into giving him a job. he took the regular training. he marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. few knew that he was legless. this was the true story of hank viscardi, the man without legs.5it can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is aan average height for an adult（成人）btoo tall for an average personctoo short for an average persondnone of the abovedhis arms were too long6the writer implies in the story that .athe red cross was only too glad to give him a jobbthe red cross gave him a job because he was a good soldier. cthe red cross gave him a job after he talked to somebody he knew in the organizationdthe red cross was not willing to give him a job at first7when hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers .ahe did everything the other soldiers didbhe did most of the things the other soldiers didche did some of the things the other soldiers diddhe took some special training c most americans believe that someone isnt grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. they also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the university of chicagos national opinion research center.the findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. the survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.“there is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said tom smith, director of the survey. the only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. this probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. the most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.8. according to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _.a. has found a full-time jobb. has finished his study in universityc. can make money and support himself after completing his
