103、自动手来完成自己需要做的事。1.A 句意:我醒了,没有多少热情地从床上爬起来,坐在那里,不愿相信我必须又去上班。本句话是在描述作者起床的一连串动作,作者不愿意去上班,很不情愿地爬起来坐在床边。sit坐;stand站立;lie躺下;go去。2.B句意:这一定是个噩梦,它似乎永远不会结束。由“withthesameoldbeingdoneoverandoveragain”可知,上班是一件不会“结束”的事情。begin开始;end结束;make制作;share分享。3.C句意:我站起来,慢慢向后看了一眼舒适而温暖的床,不得不用尽最后一点力量才离开它。作者已经站起来,但是因为实在不愿意去上班,因此舍不
