recently a test was given in the united states. those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. during the experiment, 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. the results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. this fact appears to be especially 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 to class.opposite to what many people believe, if you dont eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. this is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. you will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.56. during the test, those who were tested were given _.a. no breakfast at all b. very rich breakfastc. little food for breakfast d. different breakfast or none57. the passage mentions that many people believe that if you dont eat breakfast, you will _.a. lose weight b. not lose weight c. be healthier d. gain a lot of weight58. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.b. morning diet may cause one to get fatter.c. reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.d. eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.59. according to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, _.a. he will fall illb. he will fail to listen to his teacherc. he will not make progress in his studyd. his mind will work more slowlyba young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. the conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. on seeing this, people began to talk. you know this conductor used to be very rude. now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior , said a middle-aged man.yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company, said a second passenger. thats right, another lady said, i wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , excuse me, but can i know your name, please? your excellent service must be praised.before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young womans lap interrupted, i know his name. i call him dad.60. the passengers were _ to see the conductors kindness to the woman and the child.a. excited b. pleased c. interested d. surprised61. one passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to _.a. make a demand for more busesb. thank the conductor for his good servicec. criticize the conductor for his rude behaviord. invite a newspaper reporter to write about the conductor62. what was the gentleman?a. a teacher. b. a newspaper reporter.c. not known from the story. d. the conductors friend from his company.63. the word he in the last paragraph refers to _.a. the gentleman b. the conductorc. the middle-aged man d. the three-year-old chilchave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? many people are afraid to support themselves. dr robert albert, author of stand up, speak out, and talk back thinks it s because their self-respect is low. theres always a superior around- parent, a teacher, a boss-ho knows better.but albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. they offer assertiveness training courses a.t. for short. in the a.t. course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. they learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. they learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.in one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. a group taking an a.t. course will help the timid person to lose his fear. but a.t. uses an even stronger motive- he need to share. the timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. if someone you face is more important than you, you may feel less of a person. you start to doubt your answers to problems. you can get to feel good about yourself. and once you do you can learn to speak out.64. the problem the writer talks about is that _.a. some people buy things they dont wantb. some people are afraid to speak out for their rightsc. there are too many superiorsd. some people dont think enough of themselves65.the cause of the problem talked about in this passage is that _.a. some people have a low self-respectb. there is always someone around who knows betterc. salesmen talk people into buying things they dont wantd. people don t share enough66.one thing the a.t. course dont do is to _.a. share the need of peopleb. show they have a right to be themselvesc. help people overcome feard. help people to help themselves even if others suffer67.a good title for this passage could be _.a. the need to shareb. talk back when necessaryc. one way to build self-respectd. one way to train speaking ability (d)frank woolworth was born in rodman, new york., in 1852. his family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. frank decided he did not want to be farmer. he took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. one day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. people fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.soon afterwards, woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. but he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. that is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. once, for example, woolworth went to germany and placed an order for knives. the order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. in this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.by 1919, woolworth had over 1000 stores in the us and canada, and opened his first store in london. he made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. he always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ the customer is always right.”68. frank took a short business course in order to _. a. earn more money for his family b. learn something from a salesman c. get away from the farm d. get enough to eat.69. frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _. a. he knew how to get people to buy his goods. b. he cut down the price by half c. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way. d. the sign he put on the table was well designed.70. _ make woolworth a world-famous man. a. his business skills and his wealth. b. the low price of the goods he sold. c. his trip to germany and his huge order of knives. d. his natural skill for showing things.71. the belief that : “ the customer is always right” suggests that _. a. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are always right. b. if you want to succeed, the rule is the only way. c. stores must always follow the customers orders if they want to make more money. d. stores should do their best to meet the customers needs if they want to be successful. ( e )about ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! there are different forms of color blindness. in some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. he may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. in rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. in a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. there are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. they show us shape but no color.some insects have favorite colors. mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. a red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. in a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. yet we are lucky. with the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. one day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.72. the passage is mainly about _. a. color and its surprising effects. b. women being luckier than men c. danger caused by color blindness d. color blindness73. according to the passage, with the
