not 41 themselves to be better persons than others of less importance. someone who is filled with his own importance and 42 , often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”. there is no way a person with his nose in the 43 can be down-to-earth. americans use another expression that means almost the same 44 “down-to-earth”. the expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”. someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person 45 a good understanding of reality. he has what is called “ 46 sense”. he may have 47 , but he does not allow them to 48 his knowledge of what is real. the opposite kind of person is 49 who has his “head-in-the-clouds”a man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the 50 world.sometimes 51 a dreamer can be brought back to earth. 52 words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very 53 to have both-feet-on-the-ground. 54 we have both our feet on-the-ground, or when we are down-to-earth, we act 55 and openly toward othersour lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.36acommon bsad cpleasant dsurprising37abut byet cand dwhile38akind blike cexample
