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.41. During the test, those who were tested were given _.A. no breakfast at all . B. very rich breakfast.C. little food for breakfast. D. different breakfast or none.42. The results of the test show that _.A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies.B. breakfast has little to do with a person s work.C. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast.D. those working with brains should have much for breakfast.43. 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 weight.44. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, _.A. he will fall ill. B. he will fail to listen to his teacher.C. he will not make progress in his study.

Washington was born in a black slave family in Virginia of the USA in 1856, seven years before slavery was abolished (废除) by Abraham Lincoln in January, 1863.He wrote a book about his life called Up From Slavery, which was published in 1901. In the book, he said that he had no choice but to work in a coal mine when he was 16 years old. He had no chance to go to school. He heard two coal miners talking about a school for black children which was called the Hampton Institute.He determined that he would go there. He gave up his job and told other members of his race that he was going to school across the state. The older people had spent their best years as slaves and were poor. However, some gave Booker some pocket money or a handkerchief. Hardly had anyone expected any of their race to leave home to attend a boarding school. He took a train to Richmond, Virginia, where he ran out of money. It was 82 miles from the Hampton Institute. He slept under a wooden sidewalk(人行道). He helped unload pigs and iron from a ship for some money and when he had enough, he continued his journey, arriving at school with 50 cents.This diligence(勤奋) pushed him to graduate and become a teacher at the Hampton Institute. When he was 25 years old, he was asked to start a new school for black children in Alabama. called the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Thirty-four years later, this school had 1,500 students and 200 teachers and Booker T. Washington became the most influential black leader of his generation.45. Whats the purpose of the passage?A.

They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers.The number 13 is often considered unlucky. In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13.

The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that Toyota would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive Toyota and not Toyoda.There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching (抓痒). There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions will tell people how to reverse bad luck.When the Japanese bump(碰撞) heads, they immediately bump heads again.

I went to see my old friend, Tom Clark, who, among other things, was a member of the Local Council. At the time Tom was busy making arrangements for a distinguished writer to give a talk on modern literature at the town library. As the subjectinterested me a great deal, I gladly accepted Toms invitation to go with him. Tom was going to introduce the guest speaker and that evening we went to the library to meet him. Since he had not yet arrived, I left Tom and went into the Reading Room where a large audience had already gathered. I was disappointed to find that I did not know a single person there. Just before the talk was due to begin, I saw Tom waving to me from the doorway. I went to him immediately, as he looked very worried. He explained that he had just received a telephone message from the writers secretary. Our guest speaker had missed the train and would be unable to come! While we were thinking about the problem, Tom suddenly asked me if I would mind acting as speaker, I hardly had time to think about the matter when I found I was being led into the Reading Room to address the waiting audience!53.

Does he have waysor tools-of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is no. It is not the tool a scientist uses but how he uses theses tools which makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, toe, that knowing how to investigate (调查), how to discover information, is important to everyone. This scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What work under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations. Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.57. What, according to the passage, makes a scientist? A. The tools he uses. B. His ways of learning. C. The way he uses his tools. D. The various toots he uses.58. “. knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone.” The author says this to show: A. the importance of information. B. the importance of thinking. C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people. D. t
