Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experim

13、ent, 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

14、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

15、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.26. During the test, those who were tested were given _.A. no

16、 breakfast at allB. very rich breakfastC. little food for breakfastD. different breakfast or none27. The results of the test show that _.A. breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a persons workC. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD. those

17、 working with brains should have much for breakfast28.

18、ffect those who work with brains.B. Morning diet(饮食) may cause one to get fatter.C. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.D.

19、l fail to listen to his teacherC. he will not make progress in his studyD. his mind will work more slowly(B)An earthquake happens when two plates rub (碰撞) together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. If one plate is slowly forced underneath the other, pressure b

20、uilds up until the plates break apart. This process causes the ground to move. It is an earthquake. In other words, earth-quakes are the shaking of the earths surface caused by the earths rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain （张力）within the rocks is suddenly

21、 released (释放). The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. If an unpopulated（人口不稠密的）region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city, there may be many in-juries and much destruction. Many of the areas at risk are largely

22、 populated now. Major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage. Actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500

23、years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation（荒芜，破坏） that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Mana

24、gua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it。The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest

25、 damage occurs. In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the majority of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path. 31. Which of the following is the main idea of the fir

26、st paragraph?A. An earthquake comes from inside the earth.B. The earth has great energy in storage.C. How the earth plates move.D. How an earthquake happens.32.

By giving the example in Paragraph 4, the author wants to show that _.A. an earthquake doesnt last long B. the damage can last longC. people in Managua suffere

29、d too much D. Nicaragua is still a poor country (C)Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with.

30、d a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends dont get along well, which doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we

31、 would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some librarie

32、s are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.Theres more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those dont have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it

65、randparents are at an old age or in poor health, some of the children have to do much housework at home, even much farm work in the field. On the other hand, these children often feel very lonely and unhappy without their parents care and love. Some of them have even fallen into bad habits such as smoking, drinking or even stealing. In my opinion, children need many things not only food and clothes, but also family love. Parents who go out for a living should keep in touch with their children as often as possible and try to give their children the love they need.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
