People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep. In Revere, Masachusctts, a hundred policemen sc
26、arched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there. At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking threequarters of a
27、 mile to the lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed. An American expert on sleep claims(声称 ) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirtyfive years he has lost a lot of sleep watching peo
28、ple sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers(应征者 ).” Sleepwalking, however, is a scienti
29、fic reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes looks quite fantastic(奇特的 ). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded. 56. Generally speaking, sleepwalkers are people
30、 who _. A. climb on roofs B. walk through windows C. do fantastic things during their sleep D. walk in a halfawake state 57. It was reported that a boy _. A. was found on a strange sofa, telling how he had got there B. slept in his own room but woke up in a strange room C. lost his way five hours af
31、ter he left home D. was searched for by policemen when he lost his way 58. There was a college student who got into the habit of _. A. getting up in the middle of the night and walking down to the river B. walking threequarters of a mile every day C. swimming in the lowa River before going to bed D.
32、 walking about before he went to bed 59. Why do people think sleepwalking is nothing but a fantastic thing which doesnt have any explanation? A. It is so common that it neednt be recorded. B. Scientists take no interest in it. C. Most sleepwalkers do not seek help for their problem. D. No records ab
33、out it have been made. B In Britain today, is it possible to tell a persons class just by looking at him? Physical details alone tell us about health, diet and the type of work a person does. A hundred years ago the working class often looked unhealthy, small and they were either too thin or too fat
34、. The upper classes were often tall, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such descriptions are no longer true. People are taller now than a hundred years ago. Everyone in Britain today is able to have free medicine, a
35、 good diet, acceptable working conditions and enough rest and leisure. The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their backgrounds. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer is rich. Clothes can provide other clues as well. The upper classes appear to be l
36、ess interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colours, made of natural material like wool, leather and cotton. Lower working-class people often choose clothes in bright colours, made of man-made materials. A sociological explanation for this would be that colour and interest
37、are missing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to produce this is taken. Clothes are available at a price within most peoples reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good and show some degree of wealth to the outside world. Today it is the younger people who spend most money on clothes.
38、 Fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich. Young people from all social classes spend a lot of money on clothes. Some new fashions are started by workingclass people who want to look different and feel important. They want people to look at them. 60. In the past, a persons appearance
39、could not tell other people about his _. A. health B. diet C. occupation D. habits 61. The clothes people choose to wear tell us about their _. A. education B. richness C. backgrounds D. hobby 62. A workingclass person may start a new fashion because _. A. she wants to draw the attention of other pe
40、ople B. she wants to look different and healthy C. she wants to show their wealth D. she wants to show their taste 63. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Expensive clothes look expensive and show the wearer is rich. B. Workingclass people prefer clothes in bright colours because they
41、lack colour in their lives. C. Today, it is still the upper class people who spend most money on clothes. D. Today, fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich. C I love charity(慈善 ) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street
42、. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you wont find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven compa
43、nies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods. The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charitys appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物 ). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of th
44、ese donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find childrens books, all 10 or 20 pence each. Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there
45、 is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they dont encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open. The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than 110 million a year, funding(资助 ) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homele
