Then I 33 that the lone rider in front of me looked different 34 .But she was too far away for me to 35 why.And so I pushed myself to 36 . There she was riding along slowly but 37 , with a slight and determined smile on her face-and she had only one leg.

My 38 changed in that instant.For a whole day I'd been 39 my body.But now I knew it was the 40 that would help me reach my goal.

He walked up to the counter.She smiled at him and asked, "Can I help you with anything?"

He grabbed the first one he saw."Do you want me to wrap it?" the girl asked. The guy said yes and then took the wrapped CD home.

From that day on he visited the music store every day, and each day he bought a CD, and each day the girl wrapped it up and the guy stored it unopened in his closet.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ?20 million project to save it, which has proved to be a complete success.The tower, which was about to fall down, has been straightened by 18 inches (45 centimeters), returning it to its 1838 position."It has straightened a little bit more than we expected," said Prof John Burland, a British member of the 14-strong rescue committee."The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright."

The tower, which has been leaning almost since building work first began on it in 1173, was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183-foot tower was nearly 15 feet off the vertical (垂直线) and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of physical forces.

Prof John Burland said it could have fallen down "at any moment".However, it took nine years of power struggles before any work was done.tn the last attempt at straightening the tower, concrete was poured into the foundations, but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.

The straightening work involved the removing of around 70 tons of earth from the northern side of the tower, which caused it to sink on that side.Before the digging started, the tower had been fixed with steel ropes a nd 600 tons of lead weights.

However, halfway through the project, the concern about the ugliness of the weights led to their removal and the tower immediately leaned greatly.The weights were hastily reattached. The tower's stonework was also restored.

The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989, kilting four people."The experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa, which had been similarly built and on the same sort of earth, could do the same," said Pierfrancesco Pacini, the president of the group that's in charge of public works in Pisa.

46.According to the passage.Prof John Burland ________.

A.didn' t think the straightening work was helpful

B.was optimistic about the straightening of the tower

C.was indifferent to the straightening work of the tower

D.was one of the designers of the tower

47.According to the passage, the Leaning Tower of Pisa______.

A.began to lean more than 800 years ago

B.was closed for the straightening work in 1990

C.once collapsed and killed many people

D.would have fallen down but for the last attempt at straightening it

48.Which of the following is the RIGHT order of the ￡20 million project?

a.removing 70 tons of earth from the northern side

b.removing the lead weights

c.fixing the tower with steel ropes and lead weights

d.restoring the stonework

A.a,b,c,d B.a,b,d,c C.c,a,b,d D.c,b,d,a

49.What directly drove the Italian government to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

A.The order of the rescue committee. B.The collapse of a tower in Pavia.
