Peter was 36 years old and had very long hair. He could not find work because his hair was too long. One day, he went to visit a friend. His friend said, “Why don’t you have your hair cut? Then you can get work.” Peter took his friend’s advice and went to the barber’s. The barber cut for a long time and asked, “Were you in the army a few years ago, Sir?” “Yes, I was. But how do you know that?” said Peter. “I found a cap in your hair!” said the barber.

解析:
1. 根据短文第一句“Peter was 36 years old and had very long hair.”可知,Peter的头发很长,所以第1题正确,答案为T。
2. 文中提到“He could not find work because his hair was too long.”,说明他找不到工作是因为头发太长,而不是因为太老,所以第2题错误,答案为F。
3. 短文中提到Peter去理发店理发,理发师给他理发,并未提及理发师是Peter的老朋友,所以第3题错误,答案为F。
4. 文中理发师说“I found a cap in your hair!”,说明Peter头发里有一顶帽子,所以第4题正确,答案为T。
5. 文中Peter说“Yes, I was.”,承认自己几年前在军队,所以第5题正确,答案为T。
