the door opened, and out jumped a small redhaired man with a(n) _33_ look in his eyes. “is this what youre looking for？” he asked, holding up a small square shape. it was nearly 3 am by the time i got into bed. i wouldnt get much sleep that night, but i had gotten my wallet back. i also had gotten back some _34_ of city life. i realized that the city couldnt be a bad place _35_ people were willing to help each other. 16a.flying bdrivingcmoving dwalking17a.exciting btiringcfascinating denjoyable18a.opening bclosingcdancing dimportant19a.lines bpositionscorders dcharacters20a.ability btroublecpossibility dworry21a.picking up bturning upcthinking of dgiving up22a.city life bperformancescaccountant djob searching23a.sad bhappycsmall dgreat24a.shout bcrycsong dnoise25a.ran bturnedcjumped dstepped26a.empty bquietlycnoisy ddeserted27a.still bbutcalso dfurthermore28a.note bcapckey dwallet29a.surprisingly bsuddenlycridiculously dabsurdly30a.anxiously bnervouslycwholeheartedly dsadly31a.pull up bturn overcpass by dgo away32a.awake bdreamingcbeaten dstolen33a.surprising bsurprisedcamused damusing34a.comfort benjoymentcpressure dexcitement35a.as a result bas far ascas long as das if.阅读理解humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. we take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. this sense of wonder is universal. look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like the lord of the rings. this sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of makebelieve. but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. however, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. in a study of british schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. without_modern_technology,_a_small_pond_could_be_an_amazing_world_filled_with_strange_and_beautiful_plants,_insects,_birds,_and_animals._when we lack meaningful interaction(交互)with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen. the world of makebelieve is not necessarily bad. but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. we are missing a connection with the living world. other wonderful worlds exist all around us. but even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own. 36the popularity of the lord of the rings proves _. athe close connection between man and the fantasy worldbthe wonderful achievements of fantasy literaturecthe fine taste of moviegoers around the worlddthe general existence of the sense of curiosity37what can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?apeople ar
