recently a test was given in the usa. those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. during the experiment, sometimes these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast or nothing. the result shows that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work better than those who have no breakfast. this fact appears to be true if a person works with his brains. if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. people often believe that if you dont eat breakfast, you will lose weight. but the result is just the opposite (相反的). this is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch and a rich supper is to be prepared for the next day. so they end up gaining weight instead of losing weight. the advice is that you will probably lose more weight if you reduce the other meals. 56. during the test, those tested were given _.a. no breakfast at all b. rich breakfast c. little food for breakfast d. different food or nothing.57. the result of the test shows that _.a. breakfast has great effect on work and studies.b. breakfast has little to do with a persons work.c. a person will work better if he has simple breakfast.d. those working with brains should have more for breakfast.58. the passage says that many people believe that if you dont eat breakfast, youll _.a. not lose weight b. lose weight c. be healthier d. gain a lot of weight59. which of the following is not right?a. poor breakfast affects those who work with brains.b. morning diet may cause one to get fatter. c. reducing lunch and supper is not good for weight-losing at all.d. eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.60. zhang ming is an engineer who often uses his mind. what kind of breakfast should he eat? a. meat, sweats, coffee and rice b. chocolate, ice-cream, eggs and chicken c. vegetables, fat meat, sweats and wheat d. fruit, eggs, bread and milkbtraveling can be a good way to gain life experiences, especially during the long breaka long school holiday in the united states. but what if youre a student and dont have enough money for a trip? dont worry. here is some useful advice to plan your trip.save: this may be the very first and the most important preparation for traveling. the more money you save, the better youll feel.plan ahead: dont wait until the last minute to plan your trip. tickets bought several months age may cost less. do your homework: no matter where you go, research the places you will visit. decide what to see. travel books will provide (提供) information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.plan sensibly: write down what you will spend money on. stick to (坚持) your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything. travel in groups: find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. by traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.work where you go: if you need more money to support your trip, look for a part time job in the places you visit.go off the beaten path: you may go to a less-famous area. smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights as well. pack necessary things: the most important things to take are not always clothes. remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.use the internet: the net can help to save money. some useful websites include www. t, www. bargainslowest fare. com and www. economic travel. com.61. before your trip, the first thing you should do is _.a. to write down what to buy b. to get information from the internetc. to save money d. to buy tickets in advance 62. the writer advises you _.a. to share costs with any other person b. not to go to well-known placesc. not to visit dangerous places d. to buy anything whenever you want to buy63. during your trip, _.a. you need more shoes than clothes b. you shouldnt look for work all the wayc. you can gain valuable life experiences d. you should forget to do your homework64. the underlined word “cover” in para.5 in probably means _. a. walk b. keep secret c. report d. pay for 65. this passage is about _.a. how to plan your travel b. where to travel with enough moneyc. how to work while traveling d. how to get life experiencescthe other day, my friend jane was invited (邀请) to a 40th birthday party. the time written on the invitation (请帖) was 7:30 pm. expecting a merry evening of song, wine and food, jane went there with her husband, david, without supper. by 9:45 pm, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. jane and david were restless (焦躁不安的). other guests began whispering (小声说) that they, too, were feeling hungry. but no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. by 11:00 pm, there was still no food, and everyone was almost crazy. jane and david left hungry and angry.party invitations as well as customs are confusing (令人困惑的), sometimes even annoying (恼人的), and you may go home hungry sometimes. today, everyone understands invitations to parties differently. most of us agree that 6:30 pm-8:30 pm means possible dinner; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means drinks only; 9:30 pm and any time after that means no food. but this is not always the case. when should a person appear at a party? if a student is asked to a students party at 6:30 pm, or to an adult party, he should be there on time. if a teacher or a parent is asked to a students party at 6:30 pm, it is quite normal (正常) for an adult guest to appear in the middle or just before the end of the party, and this will add to the pleasure and surprise of the children. here, adults being the first to arrive or being on time at a students party is considered social (社交) death. but if my mother is invited to a party held by her friends, she will either be there on time or a little late. my age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.their experience suggests that the words on the invitations need to be clearera party with only drinks, a party with snacks or a dinner party, since it is not polite for the guests to ask for food. hence, youd better be half-full before you appear at a party if not clearly written.66. the underlined word “crazy” in para. 2 probably means _.a. happy b. upset c. pleased d. asleep 67. jane and davids story is used to show that _.a. if youre not afraid of going hungry, you can go to partiesb. party invitations can be confusing c. people should ask for food during parties d. birthday parties for middle-aged people are not interesting 68. for some adult people, arriving on time at a students party will probably be considered _.a. very difficult b. socially acceptable c. friendly and polite d. socially unacceptable69. according to the writer, people in their late thirties _.a. are likely to arrive a little late at a party b. wont go to a partyc. havent really grown up yet d. like to eat at parties70. what is the general idea of the text? a. its safer not to eat anything at parties.b. its wise to be full before going to a party.c. its important to follow social rules of part
