76to help me out of the burning car. He put his own life in danger when he got into the back seat to try to untie my seat belt. This wasn't easy 77 I had hit the car on my driver's side and my seat belt was squeezed into the console(操纵台).

With my seat belt untied, Jared then broke the driver's window to drag me out as I had still

not regained consciousness( 意识). He78 did this while my car and the tree were burning. After I was woken by the crash, the homeowners came out to investigate.

Jared told them to ring 79 services. I was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a serious condition, five bones broken.

I spent a few weeks in hospital and Jared visited me. He also continued to contact me after I returned home. He said he didn't believe that he had done anything 80 On that, I disagreed with him and I was very glad that he didn't get hurt in the process.

Today, nearly seven years later, Jared and I still keep in touch and often talk about the events of that night. Jared is my angel and my friend as well.

Many years ago, I visited Thailand. One evening I went to a little market. There was a small boy selling t-shirts in the market. He couldn’t have been more than 6 or 7 years old, but he was a good little salesman. He was talking q 81in Thai to two local persons when I arrived. And they both bought a T-shirt. Then there was a Japanese visitor in front of me, and the little boy began to talk in Japanese. Although he didn't speak Japanese very well, he was able to say a few

words -e 82 to get another sale. When I came up, he saw my white face and immediately switched to English. \ 83 , he had

persuaded(说服) me to buy five T-shirts. He was flexible(灵活的) he could jump from one language to another to m 84 the customers from different countries. And even if he only knew a few words, he was so flexible that he could use his body languages to make customers understand the r85of the meaning！

Selling a T-shirt meant getting money and that was a good thing. He made mistakes in his communication, but he didn’t l 86 anything by making some mistakes. Actually, it was a good chance to improve his language skills. He was in a good state. He clearly enjoyed selling those T-shirts and his face was wearing a b 87 smile all the time .It was work but he enjoyed it-he was relaxed and focused.

D. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)(12分,第88题1分,第8992题每题2分,第93题3分)

Being an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it? In space, they can do some pretty amazing things like floating in zero gravity(重力).

However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environment,

and that’s very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show- because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.

Of course, astronauts can still have tears. But crying is much more difficult in space. Without gravity, tears don't flow downward out of the eyes like they do on the earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go -they just stick to your eye.

In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,” he said, \视力) unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on the earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the same in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.

Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet(头盔)to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait-“When the tears get big enough, they simply break free of the eye and float around,” astronaut Ron Parise said.

There are lots of small things -things like crying that we are so used to on the earth. We usually take them for granted(认为??所当然), until they become a problem in a completely different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp(打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomachs. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐)everything in their stomachs, according to the UK National Space Center.

Thus, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: “Gravity, you're the best.” 88. Is crying more difficult in space than on the earth? 89. What happens to tears when astronauts cry in space?

90. Who experienced that the tears in space caused pain rather than comfort? 91. How do astronauts get rid of the tears in space? 92. Why can't astronauts burp in space?

93. In the last paragraph, the writer says: perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: Gravity, you're the best. Do you agree with the writer? Why or why not?
