Ireturned from the city about three o'clock on that may afternoon pretty well disgusted with life. i had been three months in the old country, and was fed up with it. if anyone had told me a year ago that i would have been feeling like that i should have laughed at him; but there was the fact. the weather made me liverish, the talk of the ordinary englishman made me sick. i couldn't get enough exercise, and the amusements of london seemed as flat as soda-water that has been standing in the sun. richard hannay, i kept telling myself, you have got into the wrong ditch, my friend, and you had better climb out.
2 from the first i was disappointed with the place. in about a week i was tired of seeing sights, and in less than a month i had had enough of restaurants and theaters. i had no real pal to go about with, which probably explains things. here was i, thirty-seven years old, sound in wind and limb, with enough money to have a good time, yawning my head off all day. i had just about settled to clear out and get back to the veld, for i was the best bored man in the united kingdom.
3 i was just fitting my key into the door when i noticed a man at my elbow. i had not seen him approach, and the sudden appearance made me start. he was a slim man, with a short brown beard and small, blue eyes. i recognized him as the occupant of a flat1 on the top floor, with whom i had passed the time of day on the stairs.
4 "can i speak to you? " he said. "may i come in for a minute? " he was steadying his voice with an effort, and his hand was pawing my arm.
5 i got my door open and motioned him in. no sooner was he over the threshold than he made a dash for my back room. then he bolted back.
6 "is the door locked? " he asked feverishly, and he fastened the chain with his own hand.
7 "i'm very sorry," he said humbly. "it's a mighty liberty, but you looked the kind of man who would understand. i've had you in my mind all this week when things got troublesome. say, will you do me a good turn? "
8 "i'll listen to you," i said. "that's all i'll promise." i was getting worried by the antics of this nervous little chap.
9 there was a tray of coffee on a table beside him, from which he filled himself a cup. he drank it off in three gulps, and cracked the cup as he set it down.
10 "pardon," he said, "i'm a bit rattled tonight. you see, i happen at this moment to be dead."
11 "what does it feel like? " i asked. i was pretty certain that i had to deal with a madman.
12 a smile flickered over his drawn face. "i'm not mad—yet. i'm going to confide in you. i need worse than any man ever needed it, and i want to know if i can count you in."
13 "get on with your yarn," i said, "and i'll tell you."
14 he was an american, from kentucky, and after college, being pretty well off, he had started out to see the world. he wrote a bit, and acted as war correspondent for a chicago paper, and spent a year or two in south-eastern europe. i gathered that he was a fine linguist, and had got to know pretty well the society in those parts. he spoke familiarly of many names that i remembered to have seen in the newspapers.
15 he had played about with politics, he told me, at first for the interest of them, and then because he couldn't himself. i read him as a sharp, restless fellow, who always wanted to get down to the roots of things. he got a little further down than he wanted.

which two sentences from the passage best support the idea that the man in the flat on the top floor was acting nervous?
"i need worse than any man ever needed it, and i want to know if i can count you in."
he drank it off in three gulps, and cracked the cup as he set it down.
"is the door locked? " he asked feverishly, and he fastened the chain with his own hand.
"i've had you in my mind all this week when things got troublesome."
he was a slim man, with a short brown beard and small, blue eyes.

Which event in chapter 3 seems like it will be the climax of mice and men

Memories of a memory have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? if so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. new insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things. first, memory is vague. imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. most likely, you could describe the room very generally. you could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. so when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. there are lots of different kinds of "tall." second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. for example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. in effect, your brain is combining memories to you tell the story. third, your memory changes over time. it also changes the more you retell the story. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. you may have noticed this yourself. the next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. you may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? the human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture. part a and part b below contain one fill-in-the-blank to be used for all three question responses. your complete response must be in the format a, b, c including the letter choice, commas, and a space after the commas. part a: which of the following best explains why memories from childhood are unreliable? fill in blank 1 using a, b, or c. our brains add details and general knowledge to childhood memories. our brains are not as reliable as video cameras are. our brains create new stories to make the past more interesting. part b select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using e, f, or g. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using h, i, or j. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture answer for blank 1:
