A short time ago , a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test . During the test , these people were given all kinds of breakfasts , and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts. The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast , he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight . This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch . They will gain weight instead of losing it . You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.56. During the test , the people were given _. A. no breakfast at all .B. different breakfasts or sometimes none C. very rich breakfastsD. little food for breakfast57. Scientists wanted to know whether _.

Some people buy as many as two or three different papers. Why do people read newspapers?Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and never completely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers. In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house or rooms that they can rent, or even when looking for a person who is lost. 60. This article tells us _. A. most people in America or England read newspapers every day B. all people in America or England read newspapers every dayC. every person in America or England reads newspapers every day D. all families in America or England read newspapers every day61. Newspapers supply us with _. A. only home news B. only world newsC. home news and world news D. important things62. Today we can read in our newspapers about important events_. A. that took place hundreds of years ago B. that took place in faraway countries soon after they happened C. that will take place in foreign countries D. that will take place in the world63. Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. The habit of reading newspapers is found among most people. B. Newspapers not only supply us with news from all over the world but also give us a lot of useful information. C. Hundreds of years ago news was not wholly true because it was told in spoken words. D. If you have no place to live in, you can put notice in a newspaper and then you will certainly get a room to live in.CIn the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they dont know. If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.64. Which statement is TRUE?A. American people like sitting with people they dont know.B.

Here are six ways for you to find more pleasure in your life.Play that song you love so much. As a preschooler can tell you, repetition can lead to pleasure. When you experience something more than once, you notice more details about it each time, and it increases your enjoyment. Thats why you love revisiting that jazz club, favourite restaurant, and beloved old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you can overdo it.Dont buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist(经济学家) Tyler says that much of the joy we get from our buying lies in the experience of finding them out, getting them home, and opening them up. If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, youll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one a time and space out the pleasure.Look outside. People long ago spent almost all of their time outside with trees, water, and sky around. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit. Even being close to nature for a short time can make us happy._. Physical contact with animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with pleasure and decreases those connected with stress（压力）. Even people without pets can get some of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes at a dog shelter.Smile. Well, like it or not, smiling improves your mood. Heres why: people react better to you when you look happy, which in turn leads you to be happy. Whats more, looking happy fools your brain into thinking that you are happy.68. According to the writer, buying things one at a time can _.A. helps us save some money.B. spare time for other activitiesC. increase our experience of happinessD. give us more time to consider buying things.69. Whats the best title for Paragraph 5 ?A. Exercise the brain B. Pet an animalC. Reduce work stress D. Hang out more often70. Which of the following is right? A. Repetition results in pleasure.B. Smiles fool others mood. C. Animals add to your stress.D. Spending time outside harms your spirit.71. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. The effect of pleasure on life. B. The writers own experience. C. Another way to find pleasure. D. Reasons for finding more pleasure.EIf the child has been brought up in a loving, openly communicative environment, the relationship with parents would be a strong oneIt is only when there are ongoing troubles in the relationship between parents and the child that there is a breakdown in communicationWhen parents are going through difficulties in their own relationship the child sometimes develops guiltThe child can hold himself or herself responsible for the breakdown in relationship between the parentsThis needs to be explained to the child, who wont speak out this guiltThe teenage years are emotionally sensitive
