applying for a new job. one day, he collected all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. his interview was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. while waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre (轮胎) of his car. obviously there was something wrong with the car. jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. when jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. jimmy said there was no need to pay him, he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. then the old man said, “well, i could take you to the office for your interview. its the least i could do. please. i insist.” jimmy agreed. upon arrival, jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. jimmy still had some oil on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. one by one, the applicants left the interviewers office with disappointed(失望) look on their faces. finally his name was called. the interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “do you really need to be interviewed?” jimmy felt hopeless. “with the way i look now, how could i possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. then the interviewer turned the chair and to jimmys surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. it turned out he was the general manager of the company. “sorry i had to keep you waiting, but i was pretty sure i made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. i just know youd be a trustworthy worker. congratulations!” jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. 58. why did jimmy apply for a new job?a. he was out of work b. he was bored with his job c. he wanted a higher positiond. he hoped to find a better boss59. why did the old man offer jimmy a ride?a. he was also to be interviewed b. he needed a traveling companionc. he always helped people in needd. he was thankful to jimmy 60. how did jimmy feel

than a hundred years ago, an american inventor called elias howe finally fell asleep. he had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread（线）to run smoothly around the needle（针）.though he was tired, howe slept badly. he turned and turned. then he had a dream. he dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages（食人族）whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. when he tried to do so, howe ran into the same problem as before. the thread kept getting caught around the needle. the king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill howe. they came up towards him with their spears（长矛）raised. but suddenly the inventor noticed something. there was a hole in the tip of each spear. the inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. this was the simple idea that finally made howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.elias howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.thomas edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. so did the great physicist albert einstein. charlotte bronte also drew in her dreams in writing jane eyre.to know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. even then, a part of your mind is still working. this unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. it stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. it is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. however, the unconscious part acts in a special way. it uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. this is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.62.according to the passage, elias howe was_.a. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepb. much more hard-working than other inventorsc. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedd. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams63.the problem howe was trying to solve was_.a. what kind of thread to useb. how to design a needle which would not breakc. where to put the needled. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle64.thomas edison is spoken of because_.a. he also tried to invent a sewing machineb. he got some of his ideas from dreamsc. he was one of howes best friendsd. he also had difficulty in falling asleep65. dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because_.a. strange images are used to communicate ideasb. images that we cant understand are usedc. we can never understand the real meaningd. only specially trained people can understand them五、词汇应用，每空一词（每小题1分，计10分）66. he is good at playing the_(吉他).67. there are_ clothes for
