He was always looking for     55   for nothing . 36.A.operator        B.assistant      C.waiter              D.secretary 37.A.good           B.poor        C.big                 D.usual 38.A.so                 B.when          C.therefore          D.but 39.A.sold           B.knew          C.gave          D.sent 40.A.making        B.letting       C.getting             D.keeping 41.A.wish          B.insist         C.declare        D.suppose 42.A.when         B.if              C.because            D.though 43.A.food          B.fruit            C.vegetables   D.drink 44.A.admit         B.expect         C.announce   D.promise 45.A.yet            B.only            C.just                D.even 46.A.told           B.said                C.spoke        D.talked 47.A.serious          B.strange        C.polite             D.familiar 48.A.as well          B.as usual     C.either             D.also 49.A.sayings          B.questions   C.words        D.speeches 50.A.and then        B.and so       C.even if            D.but if 51.A.preparations   B.jokes           C.repairs       D.friends 52.A.according to   B.due to                C.instead of  D.up to 53.A.never           B.ever            C.seldom             D.always 54.A.took          B.moved       C.threw       D.turned . 55.A.something      B.anything      C.somebody  D.anybody
